My Pond now completed 1 month

Overview

An year ago, I was heavily inspired by that Anthony Archer-Wills's show 'The PoolMaster'. At that time I really wanted to have something like those breathtaking Bio pools.

But it was nowhere possible to have one, it needs huge space, thousands of gallons of water, big budget for many other resources like plants, construction material, pumps etc.

Then I moved down to swimming ponds, but it is a also large thing.

Then I finally figured out what I was actually attracted to the most.

And it was the Aquatic ecosystem with lots of different submerged plants, marginal plants, floating plants etc and those aquatic life like frogs, dragon fly, water beetles, water boatmen etc.

Then I planned for making a small wildlife pond with a fountain in the middle and lots of aquatic plants.

And while planning and building it gradually turned into this goldfish pond (more bigger) with a waterfall and bog filter and no fountain. lol

Its a 2000liters fish pond with small bog. The bog is filled with rock chips, where I had put some plant I already had in my garden.(I experiment with different types of plants if they can grow in water....lol)
From the bog starts a tiny stream turning to waterfall.
