Well thanks for the welcome!! I love this website!! Man I wish I knew about it 5 years ago? Ive got tons of links on my computer to various suppliers and dealers. Not a lot of links out there for the big pond owner. I have solid blue clay for dirt...with a constant stream/springs running into it. No worry for lack of water. This is my 3rd pond I built on my property. This one is about 40 x 60 feet and about 3-5 feet deep. Id have more if it wasnt for all the damn treehugging permit bs.
