Cool, and entertaining :)
 
I forgot to add that the cool thing about a pond for the very reasons I mentioned, but most importantly is that the most expensive piece in any large aquarium is the viewing panel which is free with a pond and the "look down" perspective has a more natural ambiance and having it indoors to boot is unreal.
 
Amazing how something so simple can yield such large results in such a short period of time with few resources.

You make me want to get started on mine.
this project is less than $250.. the most expensive item was the pond liner... at $130..
