I just wanted to share a few pictures of my moms pond. Its has a upper and lower pond connected by a small stream, and both have their own waterfalls. Has some goldfish in both levels along with mosquito fish. Im half tempted to throw some weather loaches in there and see if they breed. But i think i would give my mother a heart attack if she see's loaches in her pond :eek:

My parents had some people come and build it so i sort of layed back and watched them do it. At the end of the pond is big pump that has a net to catch anything floating before entering the tubing, it then pushes the water up to the 2 waterfalls. In each of the tubs for the waterfall we have giant sponges and bags of volcano rock or something i believe. There might be something else in it im not really too sure, sorry. The substrate is just a bunch of smaller rocks.
 
Thank you all for the remarks. She has put alot of hard work in with all the planting and as you can tell it surely pays off.

blitzen25bm, i found a picture showing the bottom before it had anything in it for you to see the bottom. Someone should really tell my niece not to play in that water, heh.

Biggest problem, as with anything pond or aquarium is when algee comes, it comes in large quantitys.

thats great, i wanted a pebble bottom too but i was worried before but now that im going with concrete im just going to press those black beach rocks onto the cement.

i read on the other post about your filter mines the same way, prefilter then mech filtration and lava rock. is your rock submerged or is it a wet/dry setup? im wondering if i should set mine up so it would be a better wet/dry setup.

our lava rock is submerged. Not sure which is the better way but our pond has been running for a few years and never any problems. Ive only seen one dead goldfish before, only other problem is with animals, espically my neighbors stupid cat that eats our fish! Oh how tempting it is to put some antifreeze outside for it :rant2: :rant2: :rant2:
