    My first pond (edit: 12 months later May 2012)

    My first pond (edit: 12 months later May 2012)

    My first pond 12 months ago I had to change the waterfall from sandstone to slate as it was causing to much splashing and wetting the wood. the sharper finer edge of the slate is much better.

    My first pond (edit: 12 months later May 2012)

    My first pond 12 months ago So I changed my mind about the waterfall area and decided to fill the depths of the lined area with pond filter tubes, cover with hessian and plant my plants in bags rather than pots. Also kept the soil levels low as I wanted these plants to feed off the nutrients...

    My first pond 12 months later (may 2012) The beast! as some have pointed out its overkill for 1000l but I'm coming at this from a planted tank bias. I love this filter.

    My first pond 12 months ago - the build Hi folks Long time coming this post so be prepared for a picture heavy post. I took photos as I built the pond so I'll post them over a number of posts. I purchased a nexus easy pod + an aquamax Eco 4500 + a 175 x 125 x 60 cm preformed plastic pond...

    My first pond (edit: 12 months later May 2012)

    My garden is 570cm by 400cm. Not large. I have a pond planned. I'm removing the grass and am going to lay stone slabs down instead. I plan to use railway sleepers to make some raised beds around the outside of the patio. The pond itself will be a rectangular L130cm x w85cm x d45cm preformed...
