Thank you for the compliment. I use a pond skimmer that contains a basket that catches large debris (leaves etc.) dividing the box are brushes that look like large bottle washing brush's and then the pump. Water leaving the pump runs through an aqua 25 watt u.v. lite with a valve so I can adjust the water flow.Water pumps up to the upper pond where there is a bio fall box containing 2 inches of filter media across the bottom of the box and then lava rock held in a mesh bag. The upper pond has one bog area and the bottom pond has two across from each other.

You can just reply to your own post to add more shots, that is what I have been doing.

Very lovely and clear pond too!

I think you can post all these in the same thread, without having to make a new thread every time.

I have been doing replies to my own thread, you can only put 5 pictures per message. So I just reply to myself and add 5 more pictures.

and jethro13, your pond looks beautiful, very nice job.

A new thread is not required each time. You can post 5 pictures at a time many times in the same thread.

Thanks Koikeepr, when it comes to computers, I'm a doofus. I type with two fingers and have two teenagers that never have enough time to show the oldman how to do stuff. Thanks again.
