This is how my pond ended the summer I started it. Winter came sonner than I thought, so I had to wait until the next year.

The next spring I dug up and reburied the drains to make them deeper (sure glad I did).

The finished wall and the bottom drains with 4" pipes.

Deep pond.

The plumbing coming into the pump house.

The outside plumbing coming to and from the pond. 4" drain and return lines - with a 2" skimmer line.

My knife valves.

Beginning the install of the filter house. All trickle tower bio filtration and plugins for the UV. Particle filtration is yet to be done (at this time of this photo).

The underlay just before laying the liner.

Filling the pond (and fearless jumpers). This water was cold!!!!

The fry.

The End.
