Wel that's one fancy folding net cover you got there! Do you have it there in case you have jumper or for predators? I would think your arbor above would deter predators!

That tank sure looks sturdy!

its really to stop my young cat from going for a swim, just loves water and doesnt mind in the least getting wet .....also we have foxes that visit the garden nightly and have been seen up on the side of the pond looking in !

a real problem with the new pond behind my conifers in my neighbours garden they have a huge tree ... i found tiny seeds on the edges of my pond, after looking this tree up on google i have found out its a pittosporum and is highly toxic to fish ! and it seeds must be falling in my pond the only thing i can think of to do is to put really tiny netting over the pond, but im worried this will block out a lot of light, has any one any ideas on what i could use ...i dont want to loose my fish :(

Just use the net while the seeds are falling it shouldn't last to long
