I am new to ponds. We live in the Corpus Christi, TX area. We recently moved to a new home and inherited a pond with the home. we have had it up and running a few weeks and it has been so fun. We have 5 kids (4 boys and a girl) ranging from 15-7. It has been a fun family project, and has even helped the kiddos focus on something besides the XBOX!! We are anxious for some helpful tips and learning more about ponds!
