Darren's Pond Extension

"My 3rd pond build shown here is actually an extension of the previous 4,000 gallon pond. We started work on the new build at the beginning of July 2007 and with the kind help of Martin Barnett, Richard Jones, Shane Brown and Simon Nourse, all EMKC members, we managed to have the new pond up and running in no less than 3 months. The landscaping was finished a year later in 2008 with Indian Sandstone paving all around plus the installation of a pergola. A recent addition to the set-up has been a Richdon Bio-Max 25 bead filter running off the skimmer line."
