Ignore the stuff sitting around. It's pond maintenance day. For instance, the pond vac sitting next to the pond.




Feeding the fish. The number of fish we have is part of the problem. About 3/4 of the fish are going away very soon.






The water quality is good enough that we've had wild Lowland Leopard frogs move in.

Nice! How deep is it?

It's roughly 23' x 16' x 3' deep at it's deepest point. It's concrete, but the original builder didn't build it right, so it settled and cracked, so we lined it with an industrial weight liner. If we ever have to redo the liner, we're going to dig it down at least another two feet in the middle.

We're planning to replace our Tetra pressurized filter with one of these...



That'll eliminate the need for the separate UV clarifier.

I would like to suggest this Aquascape Pond Filter and Waterfall Spillway. Also I will share this article to choose your pond filter.
