hey guys,

heres my pond that ive been working on the past coulpe of weekends, ill be filling her up tomorow, so fingers crossed, the dimensions to it are, length:1500mm, width:800mm, depth:400mm, ive used GP cement and sydney sand for all the cementing and for the flooring, i also used chicken wire to hold it all together, for the waterproofing ive used bondell and silasel mixed with water and GP cement, i painted the waterproofing on with a paintbrush aswell, ive just used brick for the outside and render them for strength and for the finishing touches i will be putting sandstone along the top and making a waterfall on the end, i also will be adding great plants, so hopefully all will go will. here are some pics.

this is the first pic i took, we decide to remove all the cement on the floor because we hadnt put any chicken wire down,

Oooh, very nice! What a great way to tuck a little pond into your yard. I love the bridge and the grasslike plants. What fish do you have? Thank you for brightening up my gloomy fall day with a wonderful pond picture! :)
 
hey guys thanks for your kind words, ive got 4 black moores, 2 pearscales, 2 commets, 4 dianos and 2 turtles in the ponds, ill get some better pics aswell

cheers eddie
 
i used to have black moors and pearlsacle in my pond but they got an agressive body fungus. Watch out for that with the pearlies, killed mine in 2 days! A little desafin clears that up though, lol. Turtles are awsome. I had a chance to get some free ones, but the curse of living with my parents strikes again(i'm only 15 btw). lol.
