MS - you have such a beatiful pond and backyard. I can almost hear your waterfalls!

The pond we currently have is our 3rd pond. We started out in 98 or 99 with a 90 gallon walmart pond. DH went out and bought 4 koi. I am still not sure to this day how they overwintered in that tiny pond, but they did. It must have been the solitary heater we had in that little pond. We removed that pond and put in an 1100 gallon pond and built the lower deck. This pond had a gristmill, bridge and small stream. We had this pond for several years and then the 3rd and final pond that we put in, we put in where the 1100 gallon pond was. The gristmill was far too labor intensive, I wanted something a bit more natural looking and so we put in the pond that is in the pictures I have been attaching. We only have the one pond. I'll tell you though, I would have multiple ponds if I could. That is for the next peice of property.

This is the second pond with the gristmill that is no longer....
