    That is freaking sweet, I was just down Turcs and Caicos, and they had two huge ponds but nothing in them, they were about 50 yards from the beach, so i thought it would be easy for them to just run a line right from the ocean. But this is just what i had in mind, its freaking sweet! So natural looking rather then the black bottom ponds and stuff.

    That's amazing!

    I want to know about the salinity too; it rains a bunch in Florida, but maybe not enough at any given time to give a big spike? Definitely no topoffs required :p

    That's the coolest thing I've ever seen!
    You should start charging admission fees and let people come see it lol. I live in south Florida and would pay you to let me come see it. That's awesome, great job.

    I tired a saltwater pond when I was still kinda new to SW.. After a good rain storm here in south florida it quickly turned into a FW pond.. lol... I love the way you have your set up right under the overhang of the house but still gets some sun once and a while..
