Bonnie,

Thanks for the info. I don't have anyone to maintain the pond, but it was
installed by folks who install ponds and do landscaping and other botanical
types of things - Botanical Decorators. I have been pleased with their
work.

The pond was clear nearly all of last year, after a bit of green in the
early spring. I don't expect problems this year, but one never knows. I
hope the warning about Aquascape ponds in the previous post will not apply
to our pond...

If you are interested, there are some pics of the pond and other backyard
scenes on my web site below. You might even get a kick out of the pics of
the pond in action as a backyard birdfeeder.

Last year,
both fish and plants seemed to do quite well. Where are you
located? I'm in Maryland.

I don't have an Aquascape pond, but I have seen several ponds
that are beautifully maintained by the installer. Some will
remember Glenn Reiker, his ponds and the ones he has
installed and maintained are quite beautiful. So, if you
have the money and a good landscaper you'll also be able to
maintain a beautiful Aquacape pond.
