12,000gph pump. But after reductions for head pressure, I’m not sure…maybe 9-10k

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since I last gave an update. Our progress has definitely slowed but we are spending more time enjoying the pond. We’ve added some koi, goldfish, bluegill, and tilapia.

Looking awesome. Can't believe how fast you built such a big pond. I'm envious. Thought for awhile you disappeared from the forum because I couldn't find your username, but now realize I was just spelling it wrong!

Good to see the water has cleared up already and best of all the priceless experiences and faces of the little ones.
Well done sir.!!!!

Thank you! Once I had moving water-and especially fish to watch-our progress has almost stopped.

Your pond is looking great too! I enjoy your videos

Thank you so much! Everyone here was such a big help!

It’s not 100% yet, but my wife and I are considering a big rec pond right behind the house, maybe with a connecting stream to the pond we just built.

We’re going to finish this pond and enjoy it for a while before we decide.

Wow! It looks great! And your family seems to be making the most of it, which is really what it's all about. Well done!

Lol well…I learned a few things with this first pond. We decided to build it out front in case it was a disaster.

We will see though. I will definitely share updates to hopefully help others.

Wow thanks @GBBUDD

I’m going to have to print this and frame it! I may need to look at it during the next project
