Well I’m still putting some finishing touches on my pond that I started last year. I want to thank everybody for the advice. I have no idea how many hours I put into this thing but was a LOT of work. I used no special equipment; just me, a shovel, some buckets, and a wheel barrow. My wife helped with the decorative aspect and plants. I think it turned out alright. I wish I could post a video from my deck..

-2000ish gallons
-3.5 ft deep at the deepest point
-Bog filtration (30% surface area)
- 2” PVC plumbing with slits spaced out ever inch facing downward
- Ball valve for flow control and check valve to avoid drainage of the bog during power outage
- Three vertical clean-out pipes to access the plumbing
- One foot of pea gravel
-Skimmer box with 4000 gph Little Giant pump
-2000 gph submersible powerhead wave maker (used for a dead corner of the pond)
-Firestone 45 mil EPDM liner (30 ft x 30 ft)
-3 baby koi, 5 comets

I see that you said it was a 30x30 liner, does that include the bog area as well? I really like the look of your pond. Excellent job on the build.

Yes that includes the bog area as well. I wanted to use one liner for the entire build. That sure was fun unrolling by myself.
