Miss Stacey-

A very beautiful pond project. You are showing great will, restraint, and fortitude by finishing all of the tiling before adding water and fish. That should sound like I have a pond without all of the tiling done. Yep. Very nice sawing for the cap stones.

Filter pit is shown only once without enough of the upper walls included to give us much reference. Might you show another pic so we can relate to the flows of your system? And of course the schematic in Excel would be nifty too. Having them posted on koi.com.my to learn from has been very helpful to me but has also made me a bit spoiled? A drawing would help us figure out if your pond is 8x10x5, for 3000g, like we would have to guess from your pics.

Also not entirely clear is whether you will be dropping in a liner or waterproofing the block. If waterproofing, what do you plan to use? It does appear that you may be using a liner because you have left your inside corners square.

And now the good part. Did you sneak tubing into the concrete bottom for heating?
