Default Picture of new pond

Nothing major. I put a finger between a patio stone and a lump hammer when I
was replacing the patio stones after putting in the conduit for the
electrical supply. It looked and felt bad at the time but in the end nothing
important was damaged and all they did was put some holes in the nail to
relieve the pressure.

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.
