My Parents' Pond {Pics}

Here are a few pictures of the pond in my mom and dad's backyard. I have had absolutely no part in the design or building of this, my parents' and brother did it all themselves. My brother has the creative mind behind this, he also has two freshwater tanks at his house that are beautiful. One is about 25g and the other is 65g - I'll try to get some pics of those, too.

These pictures are from about 3 months ago, I'll try to get some more recent ones. I just happened to stumble upon these and figured I'd let you guys enjoy them, too.

(These pics are from the same day of the redesign, that explains all the mud on the sides.)

Edit: There are two waterfalls: one in the big pile of rocks, and another from the small pond on the side. The filter/pump has been upgraded to one with higher flow, and lighting has been added, too. And the turtle spits water out of his mouth.

Very nice! I love the terrestrial plants around the pond too. It looks like your parents and brother put a lot of work into it and it came together beautifully! I love the little area where the turtle is. I like that fountain grass plant. If you have any updated pics post them too!
