Fishpond

Fibreglass pond sunk to about 20cm below surface.
Garden plastic added to form a slightly larger hole (making a shelf for plants).  The garden plastic is about one quarter of the price of pond lining.

Me trying to get the rocks just right
Fish: 2 fantail goldfish and 2 Koi.  
Plants: Waterlilly, lebanese watercress and native nardoo. I only have the fountain on for about 2 days a week, so these plants are essential to maintaining a healthy oxygenated environment. I'm aiming for 75% water coverage from the waterlilly (left side) and nardoo (top right) for summer.
 
Pond light and fogger


Happy fish!
