Beautiful pond brother. Sadly all of my koi kicked the bucket this year and I have now started putting chlorine in the pond to keep it clear and just use it for the sound of the waterfall.
@dougiemac your pond looks really nice, I was very impressed when I stopped by your place that day.
You need a pricey UV light and a bunch of Japanese Trapdoor Snails! That has cleared up my pond tremendously!
I'll give ya a few yearlings if you want them.
Thanks man. It's been a literal money hole for the last year. It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
Ha! Ironic story... This waterscape was here when we bought the home on short sell. Apparently the owner who built this home embezzled $3M from Coke. She put money into weird things like this pond, but when she went to the pokey, they rented this house out for years and the landscaping went to shit and they actually filled this pond in with sand. I had to dig all the sand out, seal the pond, fill it with some rover rock, but a slimmer, pump, etc and rehab the whole damn thing.
Oh yeah, that's my wife's dog. I still think it's a Mexican rat.
There will be a mysterious hole dug one day and you will then know where
