THE POND - ANOTHER ATTEMPT

Pond re-done !!!! I finally got around to doing the pond this weekend.Spent hours driving around looking for rocks. I would stop suddenly and jump out of my car to get a good look at rocks lying at the side of the road. My daughter felt it was all a big adventure , bless her little heart. Pretty happy with how everything has turned out.

Until next we meet .

May the ZEN be with you.

THE POND - STILL ;)

I have decided that the pond needs more work. To get the waterfall and filter in requires a bit of re-arranging. I do not want any of it to be visible so need to hide it as best I can.I also want to include more large rocks as a feature of the garden and pond. The dogs , we have six of the little monsters !!! , managed to dig a hole nearby and filled the pond with dirt in the process. This will all be remedied by take number 2. I want to see if some sort of vacuum can be incorporated on the base of the pond.Wish me luck.

Oh - I will be adding a few common goldfish instead of koi as I feel the pond isn't deep or big enough to do justice to koi.

May the ZEN be with you.

POND

I got little joy from the skimmer pump so have decided to use it in a freshwater pond instead. I have finished doing most of the ground work and am pleased to say that I am happy with the results. I still need to make a simple filter that I will gravity feed and possibly have running over some rock work to create a waterfall. This will add O2 and should provide a nice soothing noise.
I have also included some papyrus grass and a pond lily. All considered it was a good weekends work. Pictures to follow.

I have three goldfish , Hook,line and sinker :-) who will be glad to have the extra swimming room. They are currently in a holding tank in my fish room.

The pond will form part of my Zen/Japanese garden that I am in the process of constructing.Pictures of this to follow too.

Things have been pretty quiet on the reefing front and I have ended up selling some of my equipment. I need to sell some more bits and bobs.

Happy fishy type dreams until we meet again !
