Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

I built my pond and the filtration system several years ago. The pond is about half above ground, and half below ground. It has a rubber liner. and the above ground part is made of stacked pieces of wood. The wood I used is similar in size to railroad ties.

It sounds lovely! Have any pictures of it?

Well, folks. I need to go and relax a bit so I can sleep. Have a lovely night and I'll see you tomorrow! Or later tonight if my plans of sleep don't work out. That happens more than I like.

I have some that I took a while back, over the last few summers, the yard is kind of messy, and the filtration system isn't the most elegant, but at least the fish are pretty, LOL.

I popped back in because I remembered I asked for this picture! Thanks for sharing it. I can see I have a lot to learn about this. I wasn't think about the big filtration system needed. But of course! I better do some research before I approach DH with this one.

I think your pond is gorgeous! I love the "railroad tie" style frame work. DH would love that too. I'll have to show him what you've done here.

I'd like to build a concrete pond eventually in the future, and have it be the "ultimate pond" with a system to monitor the water quality, and stuff like that. I keep fish indoors as well, but I haven't been very interested in the indoor fish, however I'm still interested in the pond. I should probably downsize the number of tanks I have indoors, as I've been kind of neglecting the indoor fish.

That's what concerns me about having a pond on the river. We have wild ducks and geese. LOL Well it would have to be a big pond to compete with the river!

Good morning, folks. Coffee is on the stove.
