Pond looks amazing! I love the rocks and the plants.

Too bad I can't ship you guys in Texas some water from Utah. We were flooding a few weeks ago, all the lakes and reservoirs are filled to the top and then some.

It looks like you still have plenty of lurkers, and if I could I'd send you plenty of both comments and water but that's a little difficult to do from my end. How have you managed to keep your pond looking so nice with the horrible weather that we've all been suffering lately?

Thanks everybody. Honestly it really hasn't needed that much maintenance. That was my plan from the start, I wanted a nice pond that takes care of itself naturally. By naturally I mean through the plants and everything around it. I filter it through a bog filter, and the plants that grow in the bog filter help to filter out and clean the water coming through it. I am about to make a second bog filter where the canna lilies are growing. I cant seem to give them the water they need to really flourish so Im going to make it so that their roots are in the water all the time. They also grow really fast given good water so they will become great filters.
