Where's the fun in shutdown? My ponds just keep going. They froze up once when we had a week of single digits back in December, but since then the ponds keep flowing.

The stone bottom helps keep the pond clear because the nitrifying bacteria colonize the rocks and remove nutrients that algae can gow on. No mortar at all, just a huge jigsaw puzzle. Only a little waterfall foam was used in the stream area. unfortunately that's not visible in the photos.

I went out this morning after reading your post and took these pics. we had a couple of inches of fresh powder and the sun came out...so I thought I'd share what the ponds look like in the dead of January.
