Figured I would throw some pics up of the pond. Anyway its 9'x14' its 36" deep at the water fall and 18" at the shallow end. It has a 12" deep shelf all the way around it. The stream bed and catch pond are 10' long. the waterfall is 3' high. I am running a savio compact skimmer and 16 weir. I also just rescently put a beed filter inline.Its starting to come online and clear the water.

Thanks, its in its third year. I have been pretty happy with it for our first pond. Their are a few things I would change if I did it all over again though. Guess that will happen on the next pond :icon_mrgreen:
