i dont see any picsawesome pond !!... nd it was great to see the this amazing project from start to end in such detail.....
I don't even know where to start. It's been so long since I've posted anything. I'll just throw some picture out there. I finally found the leaks. The water was filtering through the rock, grouted walls. We had to stop the pumps again for about a week to put more grout. While they were at it I had them raise the water level up a little bit. The water level is now where I had planned it in the first place. Notice how covered the rocks bordering the filter are. Now I just have to wait for the water to balance out again. It's a little green again. I also planted more plants around the back of the filter to cover up the fence a little more. We found a wild boa curled up on the hose. I wasn't really too excited. My dad told me that it was like having a long cat with scales to catch the rats. He said that my kids should be safe as long as they don't fit in his mouth. I'd prefer a cat. I started some lily pads from seed that I'm going to try and transplant in the pool. I think the water might be a little too clean. We'll see. I re-planted the filter so that it looks a little cleaner.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I WISH I LIVED IN COSTA RICA. So beautiful. But that's a lot of green water, but I can't tell yet whether it looks better with the green water or if I would like it with clearer water, cause right now it looks pretty sweet.
Patience! I know that I'm under manned with the UV light. So it just takes a little longer. I expect about another two to three weeks.
