We live in Central Wyo. and this is our first pond, I am looking for some help in doing it right.I have raised a lot cattle, sheep and horses. But I am a real green horn when it comes to keeping fish.When I said this was our first pond that is not quite true,we were given a small preformed pond and pump as well as a small bio filter,dug it in and built a waterfall,loved it! I knew we would have to go all in on the pond idea. So last fall after draining pond for winter,I started digging our new pond,spent the winter trying to get educated.Turns out digging is the easy part,but am looking forward to spring and completing our new pond.Also I was very glad to have found your forum it has already proven to be a great source of information, when I contacted the company that had produced a set of online videos on pond construction with a yes or no question I was told that since had not purchased my equipment from them it would cost 250.00 to get an answer, that did not set well with me,so I went looking for those who were in it for the joy of having a little bit of nature in their back yard and not making money. That's when I found garden pond forum,and happy that did. Already I have seen the passion your members have for their ponds and has inspired me. So we now have a 12x8x3,5 hole, a roll of under layment, a liner, a combo of a Atlantic PS4000 skimmer and a BF 1250 filter fall. Will be getting started as soon as ground thaws. Many thanks for your help so far.
