Beginner Aquarist

I so far have a 90 gallon pond with 4 small comet goldfish. I am in the process of building a 1,000 gallon pond with slope and am already cycling my canister filter on my existing pond to have it all ready when the time comes to transfer. I have some elephant ears and newly added hornwort! And in the next few months hoping to add a 30 gallon tank to my collection! Lol more pond plants and fish to come this summer! And thinking on doing the 30g tank lightly planted very natural theme. Have a filter too when im ready for the task.

Here are a pic of the old pond and the one that is started! Some how the pond has gotten super clear lately! Haha and most recently I have added salt as a new routine. New pond is 3 feet feet at the deepest two and a half feet wide and seven feet long. The slope is four feet wide with about a two foot slope.take alittle if I remember correctly. Very excited! It is going to be concrete.
