Not so sure that I am the 'go to' person regarding ponds, but thank you for the compliment.

I know I have read on this forum about run off from roofs, slopes, etc contaminating ponds. I also agree that if things are set up correctly, a slope can be perfect for creating a very natural looking stream.

DHaley - one thing that is absolutely imperative, is that you have good filtration. Filtration will make or break the water quality in your pond. I know a lot of people swear by a bottom drain - is this something that you would want to consider?

Songs - I just love your bog areas. They are so gorgeous. I am glad you are back. I love looking at your photos of your pond.
