my new pond	Can't Post

Hello All

This is my new concrete pond, it is still 98% done. Its not that huge but at least I have provided my beauties a decent home. It holds around 1300 gals. excluding the filter chambers.

Uc your name is Blue? Lol I thought it was Mike! Blush

How has school been for you? Smile

Hinz, I bet the workers have been taking their time because it tickles them to see you so anxious to have your fish put into it. Laugh

Hi Russell,
Yes my name is Blue. Aragorn's name is Mike. Night class is okay. I would rather be at home though since most of my classmates are goofing off a lot and it is irritating to be there. They are not taking the classes seriously.

Hi Hindley,
My uncle's pond is going at least take 3 more weeks because I can only work on it one day a week. I am in class at night from M-TH and a Sat class.

"If you want it done right, do it yourself" They say. This applies in some way to your predicament (spell check?). Frown

Re: [hinz101] my new pond [In reply to]	Can't Post

is that elastomeric blue paint? i like the brick finish u did!

sauron and saruman might come put of those towers. Tongue

just a thought tho ... i named my first batch of koi with LOTR character names. then i got an all black kumonryu (YES, i named him sauron) guess who died that same night? apparently, sauron couldnt handle the entire fellowship in the pond with him.
