i have to re-do my wife's. the whole thing. hers is only 200 gallons maybe, but she is getting leaks everywhere. the ground settled over the years and the liner get a bend in it. once that happens it cracks. i wanna start all over. she has algae problems as well. there was no shade over it and it got hot in the summer so the algae blew up. i put an awning over it and it helped.

beautiful pond, nice fish as well. :)

Thanks every one!

Algae has really subsided in the past few weeks now that the sun is lower, only a few hours of light on it a day. Before the spring i intend to get a black screen. I forget what its called, some farmers use them over there crops. Also get some water plants in there, big leafed plants seemed to help on my last one.

I spent maybe 2 days on my hands n knees going threw every inch of dirt, making sure we where clear of any twigs,nail,sand spur, anything that will puncture a hole in the liner.

I will try to get some pics of the fish in a min. There is maybe 20-40 fries from the last batch that are getting big and changing color.
