I keep it covered in the Winter and a shade sail over it in the Summer.
Bottom drains. skimmer. UV's and good filtration.

nicely done i gota get some shade for mine, i just thought of an idea what u think. I get a 10 gallon black water bucket and put it in the middle of my pond and make that my skippy filter and top it off with some plants and the water would just constantly over flow all around it and i could put some sort of colar around it so i would b like some sort of bell waterfall

I love the fake rock, would you care to share the process on how to do this? Pictures, materials etc.
