Beespringky- That's definately some quick seepage but with time hopefully it will get better! This is my ponds second season now and it is definately getting better with time. My pond is down about 7-8 inches from where it normally would be right now but if you look at rainfall totals it's been well over a month in our region since we've had a measurable amount of rain so I don't feel like that's too bad. There is no doubt now that the rain has stopped that my pond still seeps a little more than it should but it's getting closer to an acceptable level. I also have to factor in that i'm running a floating fountain in the middle now that shoots an 18 ft geiser up into the air. On windy days I can literally watch water fan out and scatter out into the sky of evaporation...that has to start adding up to gallons at some point?? Keep updating posts as it's good to hear from some locals since it's easier to compare apples to apples that way.
