Love the 4 legged swimmer

It’s so pretty! I would try to get 50-60% water cover with plants in and on the water.

Just gorgeous! Your hard work shows! The steps to the pond are ideal!

Just be careful with your fish load... I know you have additional filtration, but I'd say you've pretty much maxed out your gallons. Are those lilies in the big tubs? Drop those babies to the bottom and get some shade cover before it gets too hot!

Thanks for the compliment

I just posted about fish load in the fish forum, please read it and share your thoughts. I agree it is probably maxed or over but there is is a reason for the situation. Those are lilies in the tubs. The bottoms are cut out of the tubs, I've been having trouble getting them established so I'm trying to protect them for a few weeks. I will be posting about my plant issues in the plants forum in a few minutes, please check that one out too and share your thoughts.

I have a newfoundland that refuses to go in the pond but the frenchie will lie in there all day.

Thanks, I'm working on getting those lilies going. The house shadow starts to creep across the pond around 3pm.

After falling in with my winter coat on, I will never do it again! Totally agree lol

Well I hope you also have a double coat
But even an old friend of mine who wore a birthday sweater and could stand outside on a 30 degree day without a shirt I doubt your that cursed or fortunate depending how you look at it.
