A Lot Has Happened...

[Jason]

Hello fellow Ponders, I have been out of the group for about a year. After Me and My Wife bought a New House I had crazy plans for a 3,000 Gallon Pond... and then all that was put on Hold.

I Bought a new Truck and have been spending money on it for performance parts. I also Have a Baby Girl on the way (April 3) so any extra money goes to the side for Her. A 30'+x30'+ EPDM or HDPE Pond Liner is simply out of the question right now for cost reasons as well as rock, and landscaping in general.

I went ahead and found a used 370gallon preformed pond, 40 gallon preformed spillway, 25-30 gallon half barrel preformed liner spillway and a pool sand filter (filled with hundreds of small bio balls) on Craigslist for only $100 so I went ahead and just finished putting that all together and up and running.

I still have my 400-450 Gallon Patio pond with all Koi and Goldfish doing well and plan to move the 5 Goldfish to the smaller pond and keep the 5 Koi in the Patio Pond.

I will post pictures of the new small pond and my DIY In-Pond Skimmer I built as well this weekend

I noticed you have been notably absent from the form Jason. Congrats on everything but we all know ponds are more important than that stuff. just kidding!
