Wow. Very, very impressive. How long has this pond been going and how many changes, i.e. did it start out to be like it is. Really looks nice.

Also, your pictures are so big and easy to see. Nice job.

At a pond shop today I saw 50 gallon pre-made filters: she was asking I think $259 for the open top and over $300 for the one with the lids. It was clear looking at them that she was making them herself. She just used rolled up standard sort of filter material and rolled it around the intake pipe which looked like it was 3 ".
