Wow. I'm a pond noob and totally impressed! I can't wait until I've
worked all the kinks out of my interconnected whiskey barrels pond.

=================
I can't wait to set mine up as soon as it stops raining out there, and they
dry out. I use those heavy black liners to keep the wood from rotting. No
power will be running to them though.

Mine's lined too, but with EPDM. The barrels leaked and were somewhat
larger than the preformed liners. At the moment, I've got the lower
spillway too slow. If I turn the pump on full, water sloshes out the
second barrel! :-0 I'm going enlarge the opening this weekend so I can
turn the pump on all the way.

I'm also starting to get algae, but I view that as a good thing. It
means the pond isn't so sterile anymore.
