THANKS EVERYONE. I am really happy with the way it came out. It def needed a makeover. The fish now have about 400-500 gallons more than they had before for swimming so I am hoping to see a growth spirt this year. I will ask Hubby, Bill and Chopper if they are for hire out of state! LOL.

Isabel....I will ask my husband what all was needed. I know we bought it as a kit on line, he may even still have the web address, if so I will get it for you. My pond is about 1350-1450 gallons. The deepest point is about 3 feet (helps keep the birds out ) I know some places sell the kits that have a plastic "pond shaped" tub instead of using a liner(which is what we have). It is quite a bit of work getting it up and running but after that it is pretty easy. We do partials probably once a month or so in the summer months, well for Florida summer is most of the year LOL. Clean the filters as needed. The fish are very hardy and easy to maintain. I will pm you the site when I get it from Bill.

Thanks again everyone!!
