Going for it! phase one 12,000 gallon pond.

That's an encouraging sign... the turtle didn't snap at that fish that swam right by it.

The fish are brutal they know there's food up on the log. And they swarm the poor turtle as it's climbing up on the log. At least three or four of the koi try to get the food and swim up out of the water unto the log it's crazy to watch. I'll have to get a good video. Sorry for the poor quality the phone is not taking as nice pictures as it use to

Turtle battling for food . Koi swarming around her.

When we had koi some of them were incredibly aggressive about food. They would throw themselves up on rocks, in plants... anywhere they sniffed out a nugget or morsel. Others were much more laid back. Just like people, you could say!

 

[GBBUDD]

Same goes for breeding time. the agressive males regardless how pretty they may be get a new home.

The pond just gets better and better with each and every passing day.

I recently received THE compliment of compliments, one that I never dreamt I would receive.
I, like so many, have all watched the videos and dreamt that maybe some day we might have a work of art such as they have built time and time again.

The praise I received was very humbling to say the least. Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy, saw a video of my pond and has stated he would like to Vlog my pond.

Now whether or not this actually happens remains to be seen, as I still can't believe my pond was considered worthy of being added to an Aquascape Vlog. Other than certified Aquascape contractors I don't believe I have ever seen any ponds that were built by a home owner that was showcased by Greg. That is unless it was built by a 14 year old, who with a shovel dug a pond in the back yard of their parents house, just as Greg did when he was that age.

That's fantastic! Keep us posted on whether (and when!) this happens. Personally, I think your pond is absolutely "vloggable" by Aquascape. It's every bit as beautiful and well-built as the ones done by some of the top Aquascape contractors.

Well done!

@GBBUDD , your pond is fantastic, and it's nice that it is getting recognition beyond us GFP'ers. I may as well make you blush more, to express my thanks for all the helpful suggestions and encouragement you add to this forum, many of which have helped me in my pond quest.

 

[bagsmom]

Yay!!!! That is very well-deserved praise, indeed! This is super exciting!

Cas your pond is the Queen of KISS i was not that smart. I'm always tinkering with something

My pond is 18 years old and I know of one hole in the liner. I keep thinking that when I need to replace the liner I will pay for you to come to Ohio and redo my pond!
