Had a little time yesterday to work on the second grow bed.  Placed an 8×16 foot liner in the grow bed area that sits a foot above the pond.  After leveling it out and dropping the liner, I transferred my 1″ siphone over and plugged it in.  I filled the grow bed with water and then brought in my gravel.  You can see the finished images below.

As you can see, the algae bloom is cleared up and the pond is doing fantastic.  You can almost see the bottom of the pond clearly now. We’ve had a couple of bull frogs join us and they love to sing bull frog at night. . . . It drives the dogs nuts.
