thanks everyone. as you can kind of tell it is pretty much a bowl. So I just need to put structure around the edge of the pond? just for the FH and the BG? do i not need anything in the middle of the pond? also what do you recommend as far as stocking rates for my pond. I was thinking: 15 lbs fatheads,100 copernose, 100 redear, 75 hsb? What do you guys think? More-less? Also how do I determine what type of "perch" I buy? Todd I will be giving you a call as soon as we get some water (maybe Thursday or Friday). also meadowlark yes indeed I am a "average" pond owner but I have some experts on the forum! \:D thanks alot guys. sorry for carrying on but so many questions. thanks alot frank
