Now waiting to see how this does:-
Richard
Tropiquarium 88, 130 litres, Fluval 305 external filter. 12 TigerBarbs - 6 Green, 6 Regular, 10 Neon's and 2 BristleNose Plec 150 Gal pond linked to 400 Gal Pond with 3 Shubunkins and about 40 (and rising) Comets and Goldfish
nice transformation you've done there Do you have any other progression pics of the transformation? Been helping someone build some ponds myself over the last few months, very interesting to do and great satisfaction at the end
Looks great
I did do a thread on the main pond bit http://www.fishcrazy.co.uk/forums/p/10811/123349.aspx#123349 (some assembly required) but the pictures seem to have gone AWOL during the site upgrade
I'll have to see if I can get 'em back.
I think that's them all back now
Saturday 05/04/08 everything starting to wake up nicely
Then Sunday 06/04/08 it snowed
I remember the (re)build - it took a bit of huffin' & puffin' to achieve the end result - deffo worth it, Richard!Did everything survive the cold-snap?Best wishesMike

The plants are still looking a bit sad but I think once it warms up again they will perk up.The fish have all gone back to the bottom of the pond. Before the snow the water temp had climbed to 13c and the fish were starting to get frisky, after the snow and a couple of sub zero nights and the water is back down to 7c
This months pictures. The pond is at 20c today

Looking great, Richard.
Do you suffer from hungry herons? I'm looking at the net over the fish.

Wow what a great looking pond Richard keep the pictures coming.

I spotted the first lily flower bud on the surface today. IF we get some warm sunshine it might be out in a couple of days, At least all the rain is keeping the grass green

Not to much has changed really over the last month. Most of the plants are growing nicely but the floaters seem to be struggling and the lily flowers keep dying before opening properly despite being fertilised (that was a fun job).

Looking good
