This week, the digging of the pond has begun. Here is the rough layout


Here are the guys laying out the liner to check for size


Fast forward to today and this is where she sits

I will only be heating the waterfall side of the pond, so on the other side of the bridge it will freeze solid

I think you enjoy making us all look bad. I look at your tank, look at mine... And sigh sadly. I look at the yard I rebuilt over the summer and look at yours... And I looks a drunk orangutan designed my yard compared to yours...

However, if you were smart Dez, you'd have made that a frag pond. No more worrying about corals so big you have to break them in half just to fit in a bucket. I'm a little disappointed.

In all seriousness though, wicked yard!

Ah ScubaSteve, my tank looks like junk right about now. Everything is red. Cyano cyano cyano. Frustrates me to no end.

About the yard, if we were to design it, then it would look nothing like any of these pictures. That's why we decided to get a professional to design it and that's probably the best decision we've made so far. Never in a million years would we have even thought of making our entire yard a pond. I can't wait until it's done, it's nothing but work work work all summer.

Thanks for the compliments.
