Nice pond, photobucket is painfully slow. If you size your photos about 600 wide, you can upload them here with no problem. Just post the most significant ones to help save space for the webmaster.

Very nice pond you have there.
When you build your pond decide what you want and then go Way bigger

Nice pond! I really liked seeing your kid in there helping out. My own little girl matched my efforts step for step throughout almost the entire construction of my own little pond.

If you want the Koi to survive, remove the Hyacinths into a tank with an airstone and they will hatch in 3-5 days.
