That is going to look brilliant after a year or two of surround plant
growth. I noticed in one photo that it look like you were adding a garden.
Nice back drop to the total pond picture.

Great. Congratulations.

Nice! That is going to be awesome when you finish with the land
scapeing. :-) . Just don't be surprised when you find this all "habit
forming"! :-D .
Good job, and welcome to ponding!!

I would just make sure you are top up the water right to the rocks so it
hides the liner and looks more natural.

Looks very similar to mine in design !

John, I noticed you used a rubbermaid container for your filter, may I
ask what you used for a filtration system?

its the container with pvc piping going down to the bottom on the container
into 2 sperated 90s (creating circulation on the bottom of the filter. then,
theres about 50 square pieces of filter media that the water must pass
through before leaving the the next 2 outlets of the filter into my water
fall.
did i explain that well enough? if not... email me, we'll talk about it. its
pretty simple

Yes you explained it well enough. I use to use a similar filter but did
not like the color of the rubbermaid so I found a large wood barrel,
placed a liner in it and put together a similar filtration with a water
spill into my pond. It work great. Clear clean water. Nice pond. Judy
