Daily Log of Constructing a Tropical Fish Pond

how happy are you that there is water in it now?

Really glad....this project was starting to drive me crazy! Finally some results!
 
Terrific!
 
lousybreed, it really looks great. How you coming on the fountain part?
I think you're going to have to seriously consider some outdoor bar stools next to the pond and most likely a tall round table for the beverages of your choice while you enjoy viewing the pond.
 
Did you decide on a fountain?

I was talking with my girlfriends father about building a pond and he came up with the idea of an overflowing toilet bowl as a fountain...

... not really something I would do, but just thought i'd pass the idea on to you all...

I think this pond is a bit classy for a toilet bowl fountain ...

We already have a table and chairs on the deck right next to the pond. I thought of that while i was designing the pond. Once there is plants and some fish in it I plan on having a BBQ.......

Right now I am leaning away from a fountain, I am probably going to install a water fall instead. Either a redwood planter box or a wooden barrel type waterfall......
