Maybe not the proper place to put this but it is the purpose of my new pond. Wanted to share as I know many of you have backyard ponds. @herzausstahl pointed me to a good pond forum which I've learned from.
Obviously not finished yet but getting excited as I got my new pump installed Sunday. Lots more to do yet. Need to get back in the water to work on the falls and pump/filter placement, hide the hose ect.. Bout got hypothermia Sunday. LOL
Basic plan is to have trees on stone, Larger ones to be added soon. and a mulched area with a path around the pond to water and fuss over them.
I'm researching making the upper pond a bottom fed filter. 4200 GPH Little Giant pump moves way more water than I expected.
My one goldfish will get lose in here. Still in the aquarium for the last winter and gonna have to get tuff next winter. About 2.5 feet deep so he should make it. If not I'm out 79 cents! He's almost sandwich size now.
