Great post Meadowlark! Certainly sums up my thoughts especially the issue of construction. My first pond was pre-PondBoss and looking back, its been a learning experience.

Out of curiosity, how many pond owners can say that the first question (or one of the top three) that the "pond builder" asked was, "So what are your goals for this pond and what types of fish do you have in mind?" My mentality at the time was, lets dig a hole and put some fish in it.....
