Building a fairly large cement pond DIY (+updated with pics)

Hi guys im new to this forum and fairly new to ponds but me and my bro decided to build our own pond. Its a weekend thing to do usually involving alcohol to make it a bit fun but we have done a fair bit already. Its going to be fairly large with places as deep as 3 foot. It will include two islands which will have plants etc on them. We also had a waterfall idea built with random rocks not flat rock making it fairly hard. I just posted this as a start because i know i will need help soon from any experts on here.

Pictures will be included soon to show you guys whats been done so far , any way i will update tommorow :thm:

You should never mix alchohol and construction. But, hope it turns out for you.

Just curious, what kind of fish do you plan on keeping in it?

what fish

To be honest i havent really made my mind up as i still have at least a month until its finished then i still have to do all the water testing,balancing,etc etc.

Thanks for kudos mate, i just worked out the volume and its about 2000ltrs
What sort of pump and filter setup would you recommend for this size pond

pump and filter

I am considering a Project - Easy Jet 3000 pump has anyone used this and do you think its overboard for a 2000 ltr pond.

What about the filter i was looking at a Laguna 5000 "pressure flo" pond filter again is this too much for the above pond

The waterfall is growing slowly
