my statue didnt work and i had to resort to a black net,it does help keep leaves and such out of system as well.

We lost a few fish to a very big crane last year. The dogs keep him , but he seems to show up in the early morning before we let the dogs out. The prior owner, the guy that built all this has a net system, I havent put that up yet. I shut it down during leave season or the stream gets clogged up with leaves. Once it drys out, I blow the leaves out.

I will try to post some pics later,my parents spent 30k on the set up and its very nice,but lots of work to keep it up.I would
say its as much maintenance as a pool.

i'm gonna rehome 2 of my pond fish. i got them from a friend when he shut down his pond and they've been in my tank for a few months. now my oscar has gotten too big and i'm afraid he might eat them. let me know if u want them

I can take them if you want to give them a new home.

Dang, wish you guys were closer and could come look at the site, give ideas, maybe pick up a shovel..... I am going to do some more research and once I have an idea of what I want, will get back w/ you. Still thinking of just taking the koi out of the equation because the ducks are so filthy. I really wanted to be able to have it all, but not sure it is possible...

Love the pics of the Koi ponds. Makes me wish I could build one!

Bump for anyone close to Newnan that has any experience and could lend a helping hand in person.
