pond is fully running now

[RobAmy]

I just got the pond fully running yesterday. All pumps are running. A little green right now. Fish are hiding due to a visit by a heron for the last couple days. Not sure if he managed to get any or not. Ducks seemed to prune all the new growth that I was seeing. Assuming due to the weather and lack of food for them. We had 30 ducks one day, now a fairly calm steady 2. Strange weather this year for sure. Yesterday we had 3 deer, 2 ducks and a heron at the pond. I am already seeing a gel sack, assuming early eggs. The pond was only off for under 2 weeks this year.

That's great! I took the cover off, but it's still currently netted. I'm anxious to finish and start the Sand & Gravel filter, but the weather has not been cooperating.
