Justin,

That looks so different from other windows, a real eye catcher - and no frame!!!!!!

Cheers Jules I use Whitstabke Glass down Here in the Garden of England.
Yes Paul patch is on the move. His run is to be the sttlement chamber
Danny after yet another massive electric Bill, I sold My bead filters on. I have gone blockbuilt for two reasons. 1 they can run on very low wattage pumps. 2 I was blown away by the water clarity You can achieve if set up right, after a visit to ******
Time will tell but I am confident I will be happy with My choice.
Glad You all like the window. If I get a chance after work tomorrow I will get the last of the brick work finished to the front of the pond.

If the dry weather continues you'll have it all finished soon and we'll be glassing it.

Hi Justin

I love the shape of the window, the pond is coming along nicely. I thought the sun always shone in Kent until last weekend, SNOW in March :shock: :shock: tut tut. Will be great to watch the rest of the pond being finished, and I bet Patch will love looking through that window at the fish :lol: :lol:

A little more progress, as I am busy with work at the moment, and it seems to just do nothing but rain at the weekends, I have only been able to get a few hours out there after work.

my guess is it is some kind of hop-up because Justin can not reach the top of the pond from inside :lol: :lol:
