Well maybe not ADA, but ADA inspired. These are the humble beginnings of
hat will soon be a co2 injected full sun pond (almost full sun) once the bio filter is in full effect i will introduce co2, clean out the floating plants, build some shelves for my wabi kusa, plant some hc and glosso in some submerged trays and will update you.
I'll explain the filter on a later post
I have the same question, I think some Koy would be awesome fish for a pond like this. I can't wait to see the development of this project! I know nothing about ponds and pond maintenance, so this will be a completely new learning experience. roud:
it looks good as it is, but interesting concept. I've never heard of a pond with injected co2. Are you planning to keep the fully emersed plants as well?
Thanks guys! I did build it my self, filter and all for around $200 may be $250, I will have fish. Aquarium fish like gurinami, mollies, pencil fish, mosquito fish, and a good collection of American minoes. Some of the aquarium plants will be planted in Amazonia, caped with a little sand. It will be a learning experience for me also
So jealous. I wish I had the opportunity to do something like that near me. The best I can do is a pond in my back yard with unlimited L. repens and various hair grasses.
Freph, I was able to get a hold of some Killifish, to small to tell what kind, I got about 100 grass shrimp some plants and i am sure some nasty bugs and snails, but heck its all in the pond now
I don't know if they eat plants, but they surely would keep the killifish population in check.
I think they live like 20years, can be tamed and grow to like a yard. Way more unique than koi, and i hear it is a delicacy, incase you efer get tired of him :biggrin:
ugg this is the second time I've clicked on this thread thinking "300 gallon ADA tank? holy cow!" Misleading title is misleading. But a good looking pond nonetheless. Something similar is on my list but way down the road. Looking forward to how it develops. Subscribed.
A little picture of my mosaic plant, I have a bunch of floating plants, if you are in Miami area and want some, Pm me and I will give you some, I have 4 different types.

Oh come on, it's not that hard. Having been trained in patience from the art of planted tanks I'd say anyone here would be easily qualified in patience for bonsai.
That ludwigia sedoides is a very cool plant and have wanted to try some in my pond. Maybe next summer that will be one that I will have to get but then what to do with it when the cold comes. I don't think it would do very well in an aquarium as they need a ton of light.
Maybe patience was not the right term, rather time, I have way to many tanks running at the time
