Thanks guys

When it reaches full pond, the top 3ft of depth (9-12' of length) is covered in sand and several areas of pea gravel. So, I am planning on putting most of our structure on this covered area. I have put some cover on the pond bottom and some on the less steep areas where they won't slide.

I know I need a lot more structure, need to get to work on making it! I have stuff in the barn to make more of the large tile PVC square structures maybe 5 more of them, and will add a bunch (how many?) more of the "$5" buckets.

We are changing stocking ideas now to FHM/GS/Redear/Pumpkin Seeds/Orange Spotted Sunfish(if we can find them)/HSB/SMB
