We got the bottom drain put in last night. We decided to drop the liner in because we are expecting severe storms later today. Imagine our surprise when we rolled out the billboard liner and it had an aquatic theme. It's kind of unusual, but I love the lizard man. We are seriously considering using the advertising side. What do you think?

that might actually look kind of cool especially once its colonized with bacteria and the blanketweed and string alge take hold...what color is the other side?

Thanks addy and koiguy. I like it too and agree that it might look cool once it's established. I think the lizard man is awsome!!! This is half of it, there is another peice left, we're going to look at it and decide which will look the best. The other side is white. I think it's meant to be, just think, out of all the possible advertising that could have been on this liner, we got one with an aquatic theme. lol.

I like it a lot.............it's super lizard man! The first heron to come by and look down in your pond will surely hit the skies like a lightning bolt :)
As long as your water stays clear you will be able to see it till the good algae starts attaching itself but remember that's a good thing for you pond :lol:

Fortunately, we've only had one heron and that was many years ago, we had just taken the cover off the pool for the summer and it was hunting at the deep end of the pool. It was only here once, hopefully another one won't return. Of course, I can keep the algae cleaned away from the lizard man so he will apear to be crawling out of the water to do away with any critters that may come near the pond. lol.
