We have a fairly new pond, and it was completed January, 2008




Six months after it was completed, the UV light lens got coated with hard water deposits. After that got cleaned up, the foam dimished greatly.

I have other photos, but they are too large to put here.

This was after it was completed, fresh new, and free of unheard of problems








Stonework is nice.

Don't have a fancy pond, but would like to have a bigger one, 3000 gals 46" deep at center.

Lissa, what is that wooden contraption for? Is that to keep birds out or to keep the fish in?

Are you not afraid that the fish could hurt themselfs against it?
