    This is possibly the very best presentation that I have seen and I viewed so many now. You have a gift for this type of work and you used beautiful rocks and excellent explanations for the top pump you used. I bet your customers are very happy. I am working on something less elaborate and do it with rocks from here some are beyond scales. It is addictive once you start!

    Thsi biofalls is actually just a standard biofalls, the grande is about 2X the size of a standard. For lighting on a smaller pond like this I install the lights on the upper shelf because it does lgith up even the lower parts very well, the intensity of the light and the spead of the beam (about 35 degree spread) give a very full lighting effect. On a larger pond I would have deeper lighting too. thanks Arteom, hope you are doing very well out there in Cali!!

    @IntegraGSR5 Hi Integra, thanks for watching and commenting on the Pond Hunter videos. I used 2 pieces of liner and overlapped them. The waterfall liner should run about 4" below water level for overlapping to work right. Do you have a pond or are you thinking about installing one?

    Hello Jed, that particular bridge I did not build, a contractor friend of mine helped in this backyard project by building the bridge and a deck for this customer, so I con't claim credit to that bridge. It is beautiful though and fit into the overall project perfectly. Hope to hear more from you and thanks for watching.

    I recommend waiting a week before adding fish, this allows the water to age nicely AND allows the opportunity to watch a new installation and make sure that everything is functioning properly. Last thing you want is to add fish athen find out you have a faulty pump!

    @jorgesarduysousa Hi Jorge, for this project I used a 15 X 20 liner that was oversized for the project. I always try to go a bit oversized so I have roome to be creative if I want. The excess liner is cut away and recycled within the project as protection for under the bigger rocks that I use. thanks for commenting and visit me on facebook/thepondhunter too! -PH

    @stangsaleens7 Hey Stang, sounds like you have a combo of hair algae and milfoil a small floating weed. The milfoil is usually introduced by birds/ducks or will come in on other plants, always try to "clean" your plants before putting in your pond. The hair algae, a UV light will do nothing for, try adding more plants, better filtration, that type of algae is usually die to higher nutrient levels. What type of filter do you have??
