New guy here

[Crash78]

Hey, new to the forum but been messing with a few small ponds on and off for a few years. After reading a lot of information on here I realize why I have had so many problems in the past.
I'm in the planning phase of updating my waterfall/creek/small pond and adding a much larger pond with an intake bay and wetland filter.
I'm a big diy guy that likes to save money so I plan on using a lot of the ideas I found here.

Not much to take pics of. Yet. Right now I have rocks scattered through my yard and unbelievable amounts of sludge I'm removing from the old creek and pond.

Me. I would drool. I have no rock out here. Like I’m trying to find a way to go on a rock hunting road trip!
