Ill update with some more pics of the whole pond tomorrow but im hella tired so imma go to sleep.
 
very nice!! if i had your skills,,Ill be doiing my own pond right about now lol!
 
looks good your stock is goin to love the extra room.

i wouldn't of put the pleco in just because i herd they will chew threw a liner
 
Theres drift wood in there for him. I highly doubt he will chew threw a 40mil liner. They cant eat it so there is no reason for him to. plus he doesn't even clean up the tank. only eats shrimp. lol
 
congrast for the new pond! it look really nice !
 
The pond is officially done!! sump is up and running. its completely full. I added 30 Convicts to it in hopes that they will breed and I can start a nice small fish community. here are some pics of moving about 100+ gal of scrubbies into the new sump. As you can see I still need another 80-100gal to fill it up. guess I gotta go raid all the dollar stores in a 60mile radius. lol

Spray bars all working. about 10k gph

Well the fish are loving it. Much much more active. Over all it took me longer than expected. I had hoped to finish it last thursday, but this is close. All together the entire build took me 12days. And I will say I came in under budget at $1 per gallon. If there is a big enough interest I will disclose the entire build costs. I will post pics of the completed project later tonight. Thanks for all the positive comments.
 
Absolutely fantastic mate,12 days lol

Ya 12 very long days. Like average 16-18hrs. Could have got it done a day quicker except Im not good at electrical work. And those stupid leaks. Lol
