New pond is up and running at 6 months of labor!

We began building the pond in may and did not finish until November. We installed over 250k of rock including river rock all the way up to 600lbs boulders. The pond is around 21,000 gallons and runs 14k gph over the waterfalls. Both pools are 8 feet. I am pretty much obsessed with water gardening now!

OMGOSH!!!!!!! Your pond is AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! It does not look like its 'new', it looks like its been there for years. The lighting is so nice.

Thanks! Added myself a log jam yesterday, hopefully the bluegill will use this area for breeding
