Checking in from sunny south florida. Not sure of the exact gallon size of my pond, but it's about 6' X 3' X 18" deep. Currently been up and running about 2 years and is stocked heavily with many cichlids and local pond fish. I'll upload a few pictures shortly. Just want to say hi!

Welcome to the forums and awesome looking pond. Love the wood around it. BTW, by those measurements, your pond is 202 gallons.

 

[RobCarpenter]

Thank you, I guess I was pretty close. I figured about 200.

Welcome.It looks really nice. How to the cichlids get along with the other fish?

 

[RobCarpenter]

They have a lot of space so they do pretty good. I have a female that keeps spawning and she is a little crazy, but just keeps others away, not nipping fins. Only casualties I see are the newborn mosquito fish. They gulp them up almost instantly.

I should probably add that the cichlids are wild caught (invasive) from the same place as the other fish though. So they were cohabiting in a lake before I got them.

Thank you all for all of the welcomes. I built my first diy venturi I found info on here and it works awesome. Cost about $1.80
