First attempt at a large pond

Your waterfall is going to look brilliant with lights. On a side note hoping your new Koi are still doing well.

Hahaha thank you. It was not the plan but when a good deal presents itself you have to go for it. Oh i found me a little tree stump no where near what i want but it will do till i find a better one. I will rake a pic of it tomorrow.

Tonight's pic.

Your pond is beautiful! Looks like it has been there for years and not new. Very well done!

Thank you, i am very excited for the view of the falls too. Don't of the budget to finish it the way i want just yet. I want to rock the liner with a combination of smooth edged flagstone and river rocks and some cobble stone if its not to much. I think a wide variety will give it a natural look. Yes it is a bit of a relief that the koi and water conditions are doing well. Still touch and go mentally though since the one kind of sprung up and became an issue seemingly out of no where other than my gut that he or she didn't seem right.

Thank you, it does have that look at night. Now to get it in the day time lol that will take some time though.

Added another underwater light. The light to the right.

And a quick little video of the pond and surrounding area. Getting a little redundant so this might be it for a bit till the waterfall goes in.

I love keeping lots of videos of my pond. During the winter months I watch them to give myself hope that spring is coming!

 

[Telion]

I love that idea

Never be afraid to plan ahead budget/growth wise and enjoy the pond along the way till the plans come to fruition! I do this a lot with trees I plant in the garden landscape.

My life right now with the whole house since we are only in our 2nd year in it, great advise!

Here is a video I didn't realize that I never added to YouTube

I may have missed it but what pump are you using to feed the waterfall? Looks like a lot of water.

12,500gph Anjon Monsoon. You are correct it is a lot of water.

 

[MajorDan]

Wow, 12500gph...No wonder it looks so good!
How do you filter that amount of water.
