Pics of my new pond

[Bart]

I have asked a couple of questions on this forum so I thought I would show you a couple of pics of my new pond. It has been up and running for about 2 months. The fish have been living here for about 5 weeks. Things are looking pretty good now. The liner showing on the water falls will be hidden when I redo the falls. They are leaning so they need adjusted. The pond is 15' x 20' and 36" in the middle and around 28" on the sides. There is 2 bottom drains going over to the collection box on the left of the pic. The 5000 gph pump takes it suction from here and pumps up to the bio filter behind the falls. There is around 100 goldfish in the pond ranging from 2" to 7". This was my first pond so there was a little bit of challenge for me.
Thanks for all the help

Holy Mackerel I say that is very cool looking. I love the boards around the pond. You could sit there on the sides and dangle your feet in the pond and let the fish give a defoliating treatment

love the stream/waterfalls, and the stone work just above the waterline. Really nice touch.

Whats the pump?

 

[Bart]

The pump is a 5100 gph Quiet Drive.

I like the shape too and have never really seen one done like that with a waterfall too great job thumbs up

5100G = 23185L....

thats a hell of a big pump! mines like 8000l/hr at best and is more than enough. Yours must be cycling the water every 20minutes lol

The pond holds approx. 4900 gals so it cycles about once an hour.

Very neat looking, I like it a lot... sure doesn't look like it was your first pond attempt! I'd say you did a great job.

Very nice job for an advanced person for a first timer I give a double thumbs up. Two month's of running? How did you get your lilies that big that fast and this early? Yea, your going to end up with literally thousands of goldfish in that pond within a year or two! It's going to run so much better with just goldfish. I wish I had that pond but for my Koi! The Koi wouldn't let the Lilies look like that though. Very Nice, Look forward to seeing pics as it developes further.
