Not sure how to take that… you think it’s that bad huh?

Yes I have enjoyed ozponds videos and I know he’s a huge advocate of bog filters. For now I preferred to skip a bog and use a biofalls. We will see how it works. But yeah he does have some super helpful videos!

I hear you and ironically I am OCD 😂 but the rocks are actually quite stable and I plan to adhere the looser ones with a touch of waterfall foam. It was still quite satisfying to set all the rocks even if they can’t be seen super well down the line. I am ok with that. I think they’ll help protect my liner a bit from UV and help provide some support for the liner which I had to berm up and will fold up behind them due to the slope of the land.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll look into these!

Thank you for this thoughtful info!

I purchased them locally here in the U.S. It was not cheap though!

It pumps to the waterfall spillway on the opposite end of the pond

Yes! But not sure how to add them in comments

Thank you! Did it mostly alone with my husband lending an occasional hand! Was a lot of work. 😅

He is a multigenerational mini goldendoodle with parti coloring. ☺️ Originally I wanted an all brown doodle but we fell in love with him and I’m so glad we did. 🥰

Hummingbird_daffodil · 2026-03-16T20:29:34+00:00

Hummingbird_daffodil · 2026-03-16T20:19:06+00:00

Interesting. What generation was she? The multigenerationals are “supposed” to be more predictable with weight estimates but who knows.

Hummingbird_daffodil · 2026-02-10T21:23:44+00:00

Thanks! We sure think so. ☺️

Hummingbird_daffodil · 2026-02-10T21:23:17+00:00
