[QUOTE="cooljeff, post: 1776615, member: 994"] I spent my whole day today after church cleaning my garden out, pruning my shrubs and pulling weeds. THEN I spent the next 6 hours cleaning my beloved pond! I love this pond but the yearly clean-up is crazy back breaking!!! First I have to drain the pond completely ( that is the easy part )! next I have to clean out all the rocks and sediment! THAT is the nasty part.... then I have to get it almost completely empty and use towels and wipe out all the BLACK sludge! After all this is said and done I have to clean out all my filters and rinse the liner really good. then drain the pond empty again to get the rest of the water somewhat clear. The I have to rinse and scrub all the stones in the bottom that develop all the algae and crap throughout the season. THEN I finally fill the pond again and use a fine mesh net to catch all the small particles and grass, ect that got back in. BUT in the end it is worth it, this is my pride and joy! [ATTACH=CONFIG]20443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]20444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]20445[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]20446[/ATTACH] SHE is a 160gal pond with $200 pump and filter system the fountain cost me $400 from statuary world (and that was the cheap one!) The liner is one of the thickest made to help keep from ripping and getting any holes The total investment cost me $1,000 with pump, liner, fountain, rocks, and lanscape flat stones. WHAT do you guys think????????????? [/QUOTE]
