Working on a NEW set up

Well don't ask where I get my Ideas from cause
I can't tell you, but I have a few good ideas for
some changes on the 8 ft pond & for the 75 gal
fish tank in the cabin, both will work out great.
So if you like reading & new ideas this would
be the place to hang out at for a while to vision
what's going to be changing in a few wks.
Starting with the 8 ft pond 1st, I'm taking it
from the front yard to the back, closer to
the cabin where I can have more room for it.
The place where it is now (in the front) just
don't have the space I need to do what I want
to do with it & be all cramped getting around it.
That's just the start, next after it's moved I'm
going to put a awning over it to keep the sun
from getting it too hot & turning green & the
leaves out of it, then on the (3) sides have
shade cloth draped around it to get enough air.
& when winter comes tack tarps on the side
walls to keep the cold out where it won't freeze
+ I'll have a good heater in there as well too.
I'll also have a beach ball of some sort in there
to keep the water from freezing up where it will
keep the water moving cause I'll have a heater in
the bog filter where it will keep it flowing as well.
So there's all that, now here's the rest of what I
have gotten for the outside pond since I got it.
Danner 02477 Pro 1000 Pond Waterfall Box and
Filter Spillway for Ponds (2-Pack)
90% Black Sunblock Shade Cloth Taped Edge
with Grommets UV Resistant Shade Net
Size: 12ftĂ—12ft, this is what I have over the
top of it NOW to keep the sun from turning the
water green& from getting too hot along with
a 10x10 shade cloth.

Plant Options: 2'' Net Pot, they're growing but at
a slow pace cause I have the sun blocked off the pond.

Japanese Iris Kaempferi Aquatic Marginal Bog/Pond
Plant Buy 2 Get 1 Free Quantity : 2
Plant Options: 2'' net pot they haven't really grown
that much cause they're not getting that much sun.
AQUANEAT Aquarium Filter Media Bags Fish Tank
Mesh Media Bags 10 PCS I'm getting these to put
gravel in for the hang on side waterfall filters
Pack: 5.5"x8"
US $8.53
Pond Heater for Small Outdoor Ponds being winter
will be here B-4 we know it I just ordered this so I
could have it on hand when the time comes.
This is all just for the BIG pond after it's moved.
Now for the 75 gal tank this is going to be a nice
set up as well once I get the OTHER stuff done in
the bathroom & kitchen so I can redo the MAIN
area of where IT sits cause I'm going to be doing
some rearranging once I get my space back in here.
But what I have in mind is to tare down the 75 gal
aquarium & setting up the 100 gal stock tank & put
a bog filter on it & that will keep the tank a lot cleaner
& less work keeping the filter clean, but it won't fit
where the 75 gal is now, so I'll have to put it on the
OTHER side of the room where it'll sit on the floor
& a bog filter hooked up to it, instead of just a filter
pump, cause it seems like the filter pump alone
just isn't doing what I want done to keeping it clean.
Being I don't have any dogs in here I won't need a lid
or a cover over it so that will be a + & the dust isn't
a factor in here any more like it was so that's a BIG +
once I get it all set up & going I'll get you a video of it all.
I hope you can vision what I'm going to be working on
once I get the other MAIN stuff done in the cabin &
just see what what I see once it "ALL DONE"
If you have any thoughts or Ideas please share them
I love hearing what you come up with that I might try out
thank you for sticking around & sharing your ideas & thoughts.

thank you, I think it will be, I'll make a short
video of how it all turns out once it's all done,
it may be next year to get done but when it's
all done I'll make a video of it for every 1.
