So I have asked some questions adn gotten some good info. I have been working on this project for over a year now
most of the time it was just sitting on the back burner. anyway it on to the build
We started with me having quit a few large aquariums and moved to having 1 250 or 300 gal plastic yard pond
then we got another one and I made them stacked to where one fed into the other
We loved it so much we decided to do our first inground pond
I was careful and studied our rain run off in our driveway and walkway to the porch
once I was sure the area I wanted to use would work I started digging
I decided to have a little island in the middle of it, I also wanted it to come right up to our lower deck on the porch
I wanted a small waterfall and a deep end so the fish would have somewhere to go on those real hot days
my deepest point is just under 4 feet I built in 3 shelfs for plants or decorations
so here are a couple pics of the first part of the build
