Looking good Lee
Am i right in saying that you are the fella with the pond behind the conservatory and you have just built a roof over it and a QT in the garage...?
Have you moved or is this another venture...?
Really liked your last pond i bet you are gutted after all that work you did....

hi jason
yes that was our old house we moved in late october the old pond and qt is now all gone
broke my heart to knock down the old pond
had to think on the bright new 7500 gallon pond and next year a 1500 gallon quarantine system.
