Wow, this is awesome. I love water gardens. I built a small one a few years back on kind of on a whim. I will be tearing it out and re-doing it completely very soon. A friend of mine is going to come up with a design with a drawing and/or Photoshop. My artistic skillz are shot.

If you really need to get rid of the dirt, I can arrange that. I need quite a bit of it to fill in some low spots in the yard.

I had lava rock and a drop in type filter in my waterfall with a vorton 5000 (was getting bad algae in the hot summer days). Also, added in bacteria to break down fish waste. Water was always crystal clear and the fish did great.

I used silo cap on a recommendation from a forum and that shit did not last at all. I ended up tearing it all out and buying a good EPDM liner. I think it was like 75 bucks or something.

I am going to try the pond foam to get the water to flow over instead of under stuff this time. Not sure exactly what I want, really. I really wanted a natural look, but I just can’t seem to create that look. Who knows what this new design will bring, but here is some pics of mine. This was just after I fixed the silocap liner disaster:

Nice man!!

@LKSi

Adam I noticed some flaws in your pump design… so I took some time out of my night to redesign it for you.

I also photoshopped what the pond could look like when you’re done.
