After months of planning, weeks of work and a trip to emergency our first
pond and stream is up and running. There is still some planting to be done
but the . We're pretty happy with the end result. We're especialy happy with
how well the stream worked out with the relatively small pump we used
(NurseryPro NPU1000, 50 watts and about 600 gph after head and friction
losses).

The pond is about 350 gallons so far has cost us about $570 US including
plants.

Up to now the water has been nice and clear once the initial construction
muck settled. There are 12 small comets in residence who appear happy. I'm
interested to see how the water quality holds up, given the fairly basic
level of filtration we have.
