Man did it rain yesterday. This is how the pool/pond should look all of the time. I still have a higher leak that doesn't keep the water at this level for long.

omg turned out great. wanna do my backyard next :naughty:
 
Hey guys. Sorry its taken me so long to finally post. Now that I have the water out of the pool I'm re-doing the things that I should have done in the first place. Due to in-experience I didn't. I'm in the process of raising the dividing rocks separating the garden dirt from the pool. When it rains sometimes I would get overflow into the pool. I'm thinking about putting an african cichlid wall in the dead corners of the pool. Basically a rock wall with plenty of holes for the cichlids to hang out. I would also like some monsters in there but they would eat all of the cichlids. This might add for some more hiding places for them and increase the survival rate. I'm still waiting for the last order of Pond Armor to finish this baby.

Good work.....would a bunch of frontosa's work in there? They would look cool jamming in and out of all those new hiding spots. Cant wait to see the pond running again. Im sure all you neighborhood birds are waitn for ya to fill it back up as well.
 
Wow, just finished readying all 91 pages. Fantastic, really enjoyed how well you updated and how thoroughly you described each step, as someone else said; It's as if we were apart of the building process!!

Best of luck and best wishes. AMAZING POND.. MFK meet up your pond imo (Heck I'd fly from NZ to see this pond in person)
 
you should be doing this pro!!!
hope you get those leaks sortted, i'd love if it was warm enough here to do a tropical pond.
