Some pics of the 500 Gal in our back yard.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

That is absolutley fantastic. I would love to do something like that in my yard....but then I wouldn't have a yard left. Hmmmmmm...

....already sounds good to me.

Great job on the pond.

Looks good!

I'm glad you all like the pond. My friends and I were fortunate enough to find this house with the pond already installed. All we had to do was fill it, get a filter, the plants, and fish. It has been running for about a year now. We had a really bad floating algae problem for like 6 monthes and couldn't even see the fish. Then my roommate got a Fish Mate [acronym:82bb65f195="Ultra Violet"]UV[/acronym:82bb65f195] filter and 2 monthes later the pond was looking amazing again. I still need to add some more Lillys though.

Your pond looks great.
Good job.

duaumun · 05-27-2004, 05:43 PM

what are the dimensions? it looks bigger than 500 gallons. I am about to install a 1300 gallon pond in my yard this summer, and your pond looks close to the size. There is no way your pond is one third the size of mine.

I like it!! Any plans to expand on the pond any?

duaumun · 05-27-2004, 09:17 PM

Yeah, your pond could look even better with an expansion or a waterfall

The pond is about 7x5x2.5 According to the formula on the Aquasafe bottle that is about 500 [acronym:f167fccc2e="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:f167fccc2e]. Unfortunately my friends and I are only renting the house so we probably wont be expanding on the pond at all. I would love to add a waterfall but probably not going to happen. Plus I spend alot of money and time on my other tanks and other toys I have. Just want to add more plants and get a seperate pump for the [acronym:f167fccc2e="Ultra Violet"]uv[/acronym:f167fccc2e] filter so I can get the fountain going again.
