Ok another update. Work then resumed on the 9th. The pond isn't exactly done yet. just needs some tweeking, and a filter. Pump placement and plumbing has been decieded.

These first pictures are of where the plumbing will come out, this will be caped and you won't see it. pump will be in the lower pond.





Next is the start of the flower ledge/plumbing hider shelf of sort. Support of that is started with standerd outdoor 2x4. Next update will include how it "hides" the tube.



The liner is in place for the lower end. Here is a picture of how it looks un-trimed.



Here is a picture of it trimmed off.



Lastly for this update, but not least some pictures of the working waterfall. :D







Well almost done now. The next couple updates will be of the flower ledge, and filter and the finished pond.

Comments or questions always welcomed.

thanx onion :) i plan on putting mainly cichlid grow outs in it for the summer. it's roughly about 1300gal i'm guessing. based on measurements for the big side it's roughly 840. smaller side i figure is about half that. we haven't exactly worked out the filter for it yet. i imagine it to be outside in the back in a box of some sort, and spills into the bigger side corner or middle, we dunno yet.

Here are some pictures of how it sits now. Including full shots.













Oh and of course no pond is complete without a jap maple somewhere near. :D





This photo is the space intended for the filter box on the backside of the larger pond against the house.



If anyone has any ideas for a filter box. I am open to suggestions.

That really is a nice set up. Had to laugh about the Jap Maple. I'm a landscaper and you're right. There's always one around a pond. :grinno:
