Water Gardening: The Pond is full...., 1 by evesta

Now the pond is full by my doing!!! It was a process for sure. Had to sump out the water then go dig out the mud layer and let the sun dry up the rest. The liner has more folds then I want but I think once I get the rocks in place you won't notice.

Have to redig part of the waterfall. Water is rolling in under the flat rocks instead of over. Hopefully the hard work is done and now I can start having real fun with rocks, fish and plants:)

Also I have the pond running on a submersible pump in my skimmer instead of my external. My bottom drain is shut off right now with a gate valve so I have more time to work with the external pump and settlement chamber. So my plumbing is not done but the pond is functional.

Was anyone else with a new pond paranoid of leaks? I'm always looking at it and thinking its leaking all the time. Its been raining for the past day and I keep thinking the water should be flowing over the top at this point but it doesn't look much higher to me. This is probably just the beginning of my worry, eh?
