Yet another MA pond

[markd]

Hi-

I've been browsing since this spring, finally posted on a thread, figured I'd better get a note here before I get yelled at. ;-)

I'm in Central MA. . . put in a "gifted" hardshell that I'm guessing at 500-600 gallons. Replaced the gifted pressure filter with a skippy style upflow filter in a cut down (for visibility) 55 gal plastic drum. Using AC filter and strapping. Waterfall and short stream. .. pictures up in a few weeks when I get back from vacation!

My goal was for a natural look. ...

You did a great job with that shell.

Thanks! Still working on hiding all the edges w/out doing a ring of rock.

The rock edge you have looks great, having the rocks come out away from the pond helps in the natural look. And the multiple sizes, it takes a lot of little rocks with a few big to look natural.
