Hi from Ontario

Hi everyone;

First off I want to congratulate you for this great community, last year my wife and I bought a house about an hour from Niagara Falls, our first house and to our enjoyment it had a in ground pond which we started to love although it wasn't in the best condition we decided to put a lot of work and love to it and so far after learning a lot about ponds and suffering some casualties is looking really good, I relocate the filter and added a pre fab pond just for plants and to create a small waterfall, also added an 8 watt UV clarifier, in my sig are some of the details of the pond, so, I'll be asking some questions here and there and also try to help others as well.

Here are some pics, the order of the pictures will be time related.

[sissy]

Oh and by the looks of it you know what your doing, because it looks really great and water and fish look all nice and healthy and clean

Thanks for the kind words, believe me, I've done a lot of research since we moved in and still learning, about the healthy fish and water I don't know, I just stated a new threat about a current issue.

Very pretty pond and like how you added that preform for your plants and a waterfall :yikesu:

 

[sissy]

I have been looking for a preform with a lip on it like that around here and can not find one .Where did you get yours and do you remember the name of it .I know you are in Canada but maybe by chance I can find it here

Thanks everyone, I wish I could expand this pond and make it as nice as some of yours but living in a townhouse doesnt give you a lot of room to do it, instead I'm planing on building a Japanese bridge right on the center, not for walking on it tho but just for looks and I got to admit I got the bridge idea after visiting Dr Dave's site so thank you, is great being around people with so much knowledge and great ideas. :boldblue:

I have had 4 fat inlaws on mine at one time and it held up. I should have taken a photo to use as a testimonial to it's design and strength.:lol:
