User	ezcry4t3d
Size	1500+ Gal 8' x 8' x 3' - PVC Liner, lumber walls.
Date Started	10+ years ago, although it's been moved and enlarged over time.
Lighting	Sunshine!
Equipment	Evolution ES 2500 pump pushing about 3000GPH and feeding 2 55gal drums full of mesh sacks of lava rock and a Tetra PF3 filter. The plumbing in the 55gal drums was copied from the PF3 forcing the water through all of the media. Gamma 40W UV Sterilizer if needed.
CO2	No
Substrate	None in the pond, lilies are potted in a mix of old coarse filter floss pads and gravel. The tubers are VERY buoyant, this was all I could find that their roots hold on to well enough to keep them down. < Fixed due to comments :P >
Parameters	Wet.
Fertilization	40ish Goldfish. (This is a lot of fertilizer, trust me.)
Plants	Local variety of yellow star shaped lilies taken from a lake.
Inhabitants	Feeder goldfish. Some are 12+ years old and pushing 12" long.
Comments	Anyone want to come swim with the goldfish? BYO Snorkel/Mask, lol

Mark F. Newbie	Really - no substrate?!? So the water lilies are just floating around loose in there? Surely you must have their tubers in some kinda mud, or soil, or sumpin', just ta hold 'em in place - c'mon, man, out with it! All that said, it is cool to see an above-ground pond in this forum, and it's always cool when somebody KEEPS feeder fish, and lets 'em grow out nice and healthy. Good show.


finfan Planted Member	nicely done, do they have fry?


ezcry4t3d Planted Member	I get fry pretty much every spring. The ones from this spring have all just finished turning gold (they all start out solid black)


amac Junior Member	So you say feeders, I have some feeders in a 25gallon tank that are about 6-7inches long, I cant wait for them to get to 12"
