What's the temperature? ~ jan

Hi Jan, don't have a thermometer in there yet, but I'm guessing
it'saround mid 60'sF. The black liner soaks up lots of sun (when it
shines)...
Have some pictures of the construction and finished pond on my web
site:

I know we'll be needing more plants, but it's a start.
Best,
Mike

Wow, Mike, that is beautiful and redoing a house at the same time! I love
the how you did the edging on the pond.

Was this a flow-through system or recirculating? If flow-through will the
mid-60's or fluctuate? Reason I ask is because goldfish & koi immune
systems work at their best at 62F and up. ~ jan
