New Pond about finished.
Well it had started out to be a 3,500 gal lined pond, that I started
on last year right next to our patio, but then it got put on hold for a bit, as the wife gave me permission to build a new shop, and to be honest, the shop would be best situated in that area where the new pond was going to be.....So filled in the hole, regraded, started to get list of materials to start on new shop, but it got pushed back on the back burner, so this past Sunday the wife comes home with a 160 gal preform (I think its a 160 preform or it may be a 220 gal) but anayhow, she tells me she wants it by the patio and it will fit in that area between patio and shop projected site, and it will give her more room for her tropicals..... Nothing fancey, just a preform with a Mag drive 5 pulling water through a filter box, and out a bell fountain, with a spitter on the side, with Black Gamecock iris, canna's, water celery, lilys, and a few other plants.... It will soon be time around this part to move the tropicals out of the house and into the water features she has. Its unreal how tropicals grow when house doutside during the warm months....NOw she is wanting to bring up her 4 favorite ish from the one large ponds enclosure....2 Wakins and 2 black moors......The wakins are about 6 inches or better, and the black moors are huge......One wakin has my wifes initials on its side. On one side it has red scales forming the letter T and on the other side it has red scaled forming the letter J.......Its really one odd fish that just happened to have her initials on it. The two black moors, Hoover and Eureka are just fat pigs, that if they were able to would set on the couch with her. I had removed a pond for a lady in town one day last year, and she had pulled all the fish out and put them in buckets, and the water was stirred up and murky, so I oculd not get a real good look ata the fish, but I got all the plumbing, lights, pumps filters etc, and the fish were a bonus. She said she did not realize it, but there are a few fish that are kind of deformed, and she did not have the heart to kill em.....but they were in the buckets, and I shold do what had to be done with them. I dumped them all in a QT tank (concrete burial vault) that I have set up, and those deformed fish were actually Wakins........nothing deformed, about them at all...... -- \\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder ! Koi-ahoi mates.... |
