Thats really cool. watch out for egrets and stuff, the motion activated water shooter is a good move. If your down by the shore there is a nursery on Sea Girt blv. 08736, that's getting out of Koi Pond stuff. Has hardware and live stock, he told me on the side.

that is a really cool pond. How long did it take to put that all together? Seems like a lot of care/maintenance.

Very nice. How deep is the deepest spot in the pond?

I have been told that if you put a fake heron up the real ones will stay away. They are supposed to be very territorial.

I started building the pond on April 07, it took me about 2 or 3 days to dig out the hole by hand & about 2wks to finish it. The maintenance is not that much. I have a uv light so it keeps the water nice & clear. I clean the filter pads about every 1-1/2 to 2 months & takes about 10 min to clean. I usally have a net over it in spring & fall for the leaves. In the winter the pond freezes over when its cold except where the heaters at, there's a round opening on the ice. The fish hybernate during the winter & haven't had any die-offs also.

The deepest spot is about 4 ft deep. I haven't had any heron or seen them around but if they do come my dog will chase them away if he doesn't get them first, lol. I once had 2 mallard ducks land on my pool last year for about 5 min but not on my pond.
