Well, I'd love to oblige, however I think that the fact that no pics are forthcoming is rather irrelevant.

Check out all the info that you guys have dredged up! Look at all those fantastic ideas and all the technical info!

There are plenty of people that dream of converting swimming pools into ponds, this thread is a wonderful place to start


And if/when the photographs are forthcoming, I hope all who are fast to judge are just as fast to apologise.

I agree with Callatya
Perhaps this person is too busy working on the pool to be bothered taking pics!
Give them a chance. If I was him/her, and I got called a liar and a fraud, I would probably not even want to show you all pictures.
Good luck on the Pool! Let us know when you get it completed, it sounds like a full summer job to me!

I would make it into an intire eco system with live plants turtuls crustacians (small aquatic mamles) an unbelivable mixture of fish You could also think about a 2 boats 1 old and falling to pieces for the bottom and a small one witha glass bottom
Ps you could cut costs by breading fish like there is not tomorow imaginhaving somthing as simple as a guppy at 60c each if you have you get $60

It would be cool to make a mini lake out of a pool but the upkeep would be expensive and youd need an extemley powerful filter.

another thing the water changes would be very tedius annd an average pool is about ten thousand gallons so you would need a hell of a lot of water de clorinater, not to mention u wood need a big heater. so i would just stick with a pond

i think this is a cool project, and i hope i can do somthing like it if i ever have a swimming pool, but i was just wondering, what if one of your fish got a illness which might spread or lead to expensive fish dieing, how would you provent that from happening, because it a big pool with lot fish when yor finshed so wouldn't be easy to spot a ill fish.
