still wish at times i had stopped similar in size to yours. i'd get out on the bike more

@GBBUDD but then you wouldn't have those beautiful koi that you do!

I love all that color! Here, most of the flowering plants have already gone dormant for the summer. Seeing your pond is like getting a glimpse back at springtime!

The best is yet to come in my book I love when the purple lustrife , wild onion, blue labels, and fairy lily bloom that's the next week or two

I get it ! i have spent 4 hours reworking the plumbing to the pond installing the new bead filter . trying to squeeze all the plumbing in a 3' x 10' area of the garage 5 ball valves 15 unions 1 vacuum breaker and 2 check valves and a partridge in a pear tree. I look at the simplicity IN YOUR DESIGN AND OFTEN WISH I WOULD FIND kiss JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE

@GBBUDD I just saw the post of your new bead filter plumbing. Wow. All that plumbing intimidates me!

I could use more filtration. One of the reasons I started the pump is that the water was so cloudy I couldn't see 6" down. The worst it has been in the spring. I attribute it to the very warm weather. Probably should have started the pump up sooner.

I left the peastone running most of the winter just so it didn't go stagnant. But had to kill it when Temps plumited

All the fish made it through another winter. That means I have a 19 year old goldfish still with me. Amazes me.
Here is a picture of the pond today. Love that @GBBUDD talked me into putting moss in the water fall. It stayed green all winter and now that the weather is starting to warm up, it is a bright green. Love the softness that it gives to the rocks.
