I didnt' want a 1000gal + pond back in 2001, ( but now I do!!) so this is just right for just a few goldfish.. We placed this right behind the house on a narrow allowed space that goes from 16ft to 3ft. It worked out great and I can enlarge it later on.. The house shades it around 5pm..

The fence panel keeps the dogs out and holds the shade cloth for the upper pond and keeps out the leaves too!!..

The pond in July 6, 2009

The upper lined 50gal?. naturally shaded come Aug. but stil needs covered for now..

Covered as it does get HOT here, 100+ in the summer.. The water has stayed at 74-76F!! This is a canopy from a pop-up that broke. Without the tarp, the water would be GREEN and 95F.

I had some lillies given to me in earily Aug. and one had blooms on it not yet opened. On Aug 4, one opened!! nice to see.. I had to remove most of the lillie pads as they were left out of the water before I got their.. I HATE GREEN water!! but the lillie wil not bloom with out sunshine!! darn it..

On Aug 15, I have more Lillies and more lillie pods, neat to see them doing so well AND my pond now is algae green FREE!! love that better. clear and nice. plants do help feed off of high nitrates that help feed the algae..
U can see the bottom and that is great in this summer heat!

I have had this for ever just hanging around, and now I have another one U can see in the first pic I want to turn into a water spout.. I placed in a purslane plant in a quart size plastic bag and it is doing great!! Ross moss would be used next yr.. Neat Idea if U have one. but dont' let it stay in the sun to long!! metal gets hot fast..

Haha parrot feather, it grows at my local park and man it is invasive......The only thing that i hate about it is that it has to grow outside the water but the roots can be placed in water.
