June 4,1997
Pond liner arrived 50' x 100' roll and over 400 lbs.
It is a tetra liner 2nd nature Firestone. It took four people to
get the liner to my yard.
A few small rocks are laid on the liner to help keep the wrinkles
to minimum while filling the pond.
The tank on the left is a fiberglass 100 gallon biological filter.
This picture was taken june 7,1997
The pond is full of tap water with 15 bottles of chlorine remover
dumped in. i put in a few plants and finished laying sandstone around the
edge. 3 feet of liner is exposed so rain water will run down in the yard
instead of in the pond. I also installed a four inch spillway in
the back of the pond for over flow.
