POND Portfolio vi

Background
Rebuilt in the Summer of 2003, originally, there was a pond by the deck, a small stream and a header pond with a waterfall. Everything was removed, a bottom drain installed in the deck pond and the concrete shell cut out to adjoin the 3 ponds

The filter is located 50 feet away around the side of the house. The stream in particular was made much larger. The fish, originally confined to the deck pond, now swim between the 2 ponds via the stream

Background
Built in the late summer of 2003, it is over 30 feet long by 10 - 14 feet wide. It has 2 bottom drains and is over 6 feet deep. Total gallonage is about 10k. It also features a stream with waterfall and a second smaller stream

Utilizing 4 pumps to move well over 10k gallons an hour, 3 jets and an aeration system all make for a lot of water movement. Two skimmer boxes are also in place to keep the surface clean

Background
Another classic rebuild, Jerry's pond is also featured on in the current projects archive. The pond was rebuilt starting in the Fall of 2003 and completed in the Spring of 2004

We made the pond 5 feet deep and installed a bottom drain. A settlement tank and above ground filter system ensure good water quality. Jerry's collection of koi is still in its infancy but he is slowly adding fish that catch his eye
