POND Portfolio II
Merle's Pond, Toronto, 1995
Background
This pond was built in 1995 and measures about 10 x 15 and 4 feet deep. Unfortunately this pond was built and rebuilt in just the previous 3 years. The first build was good but the builder chose a pvc liner. The second time around, there was a new builder but Merle was not happy with the stone work. So we came in and tore the entire pond out, made it deeper, installed a 3 inch bottom drain with an external filter system
The home has changed hands twice since Merle left, and we still stop by to do service calls as required
Equipment
3" bottom drain | 2000 gallon submersible pump | 110 gallon gravity fed filter

Merle's second Pond, north york, 1999
Background
This pond was built in 1999 and measures approximately 10 x 15 and holds close to 2,000 gallons. It has a 4 inch bottom drain which feeds the three chamber, 225 gallon filter system. Surprisingly, in the spring of 2001 a couple of ducks made their home in this pond which is located in a busy residential area
The other interesting note about this pond is that after completion, some hornwort was introduced. Three weeks later, tiny black goldfish were spotted. It was never "officially" stocked but now has 15 beautiful goldfish that are doing wonderfully
