Thanks to all the pros here for helping us new pondowners to keep going in the right direction!!!! I have noticed this normal progression too, and each one that comes aboard with what to stock, etc, etc, always leads into more stuff learned by all. It's an awfully "big picture" when you become immersed into it. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some simple checklist that a new pond owner could go thru!!!!! However, people probably would not learn nearly as much that way.

Thank you....
