Hi,

Thank you.

Yes, predators are definitely a concern. I've included a deep area (~4 ft.) and will also be adding plants for cover, but I imagine I'll have some losses (survival of the fittest in action).

Love the patio seating area, and of course the beginnings of your pond!

Very nice, I felt the calm entering my body as I viewed this tranquil scene. It will be spectacular. Love the rock work. Maybe put in a fish tunnel to help with predators? Give them a place to hide?

Thaks for the fish tunnel idea...I hadn't thought of that.

I've still got a little way to go before I start adding fish...finish plumbing the pond...add liner and plumbing for the stream...rock border for the pond and stream... plant pond, stream and border... then add fish.

I'm doing all of the work myself so I'm really at the mercy of my work schedule and the weather. My neighbors think I'm crazy, but I have to say I find this incredibly therapeutic (and while they think I'm crazy, they love coming over to see how things are progressing).

Looks very nice. I've put terracotta chimney pipe in my pond for tunnels.
