OK, I started the pond thing last year and started with a preformed plastic shell. Well after only one summer, I had to dig that up and go with a bigger one. So out comes the shovel and we ended up with a 1400L pond.
Started with ten small feeder goldfish and after 2 years they're still going. Surprise to me, the 5 orange ones, used to be black. The biggest is over 4".
Still need a few more grey rocks and getting the vines and plants to grow, but it's getting there. The toughest thing is that the season is short, so just when the water lily flowers, it's time to get frost bite and put everything away for winter.
Anyways just a few pics
