I cannot get away from the rain,we have had more rain,or maybe it's because I'm building this pond....Any case I have two bio filters,each with there own UV light built in.These filters ,filter up to 1200 gallons.I'm running two 1horse power sump pumps to clean up this water,due to rain.
Lookin clean now.!

Thank you so much:regular_waving_emot. Yea I don't like to waste a nice red wagon,plus I broke it hauling rocks....haha
Not much has changed,still having storms here.
I really like the upper view as it overlooks both ponds,@ about 5 ft and the sitting has shade 80% of the day.....

Beautiful job,
We are bone dry right now, hope some rain comes in once I get the liner installed. All the storms have been north or south of our house. Need it to fill the pond, or it will be slow fill off our well, a little every day.
