    pond looks outstanding! beautiful! love the idea of adding turtles in it too - I've seen a lot of people be successful with a tote for a sump. I'd be anxious to get things moving as well before the algae gets out of hand.

    Thank you so much. I have added a turtle. There was a neighbor that had one living in his pool for years. He was scrubbing it everyday because he didn't want to add chlorine. So I was lucky enough to get him.

    Thank you very much.

    If you have heron's over there watch for them. Between them and the coons, those that have ponds have to keep nets over their tanks. They still have a lot of problems with the coons tearing through the nets though.

    We do have them. I've been lucky my dog don't let birds in. But I pan on getting a fake Heron to place near the pond to keep the real ones away. Maybe a baby gator as well. LOL Kidding about the gator.
