That one you got is cracking.  Think I'll start with the half barrel like you had to see if he has an interest in it before I fork out for a fancy one like yours. 

Thats what i did mate the barrel went more wildlife like whereas this one seems to be staying very clear with this new filter.

That’s a cracking little pond, put some underwater lights in there will look spot on after dark when your sitting outside

You could put a frame round that with a nice bit of cedar on it and that would look really good.

They look nice when first set up but if you dont look after them they quickly go to shit especially if kept out during winter,all dirty and go out of shape etc.....nice to keep through the summer though,maybe take it down and store it for the winter.....was it from Crews Hill you say ?....Wildwoods is a nice shop the bald geezer in there i forget his name now but if theres something he doesnt know about Aquatics its not worth knowing,good chap to get advice from.

Yep know the chap hes sweet and no brought it online.. gona keep ontop of it dont bother me if goes dirty im sure the fish prefer it anyway.. have you had one? Fella i knows got the hexagonal one and with a good filter its stayed clear for a good while he does a water change every couple months

No but a boozer near me got one of the half moon shaped ones for the garden last summer and i saw it a few weeks ago and it looks a state i think the plastic all go,s out of shape if you leave them over the winter....but like anything as long as you keep on top of the maintenance im sure it,ll look great.
