Hey guys I haven't posted in quite a while and I thought if post some pics of what I've been up to during my hiatus

Found some awesome check valves (after months of testing) I'd recommend them to anyone that has problems with theirs

Got it covered, half with vinyl and half trampoline mesh.. It helped my algae problem tremendously and my plants love it because it's basically a greenhouse now lol

Finally split my lilies, got three out of the one that I bought in October!

The hyacinths are spreading like crazy so I want to have them floating on at least a third of the ponds surface and in the filters

My fish are gettin pretty big but I'll talk about that in another post!
 
Sweet conversion !
 
I love it! Much more manageable than my monster pond. I learned that to use plants as a bio filter, 50%'of the pond has to be planted. Not so easy. You could almost put bg containers of mini ponds around there and run water through them to help balance.
 
Really nice. We almost bought a house 8 years ago that had a pool and the wife said I could use it as a pond.
