    Omg Chris! That looks so unbelievably awesome! Love the wood wall backing and the cedar siding you chose. Looks spectacular. I really like that idea of that floating cedar wood with plants on it!! 👍
    Um yes!! You definitely need a Hawaiian shirt! Love the tropical vibe you have going on in that area. The boat your Dad made is a great nostalgic touch..love it ❤

      I think the wood fits in just right
      The floating cedar rails really add to it and keeps the fish calm

    1st🎉 well non ❤Member first- now for the comment, WOW!! what a great build. This is I can see multiple applications. This pond would be good for including tropical fish. The preform does give peace of mind, I might actually be able to sleep, knowing that that was there if and when I do sleep.😂, and the decor is looking great I like the idea of having Anubis’s in there because I believe they are goldfish safe if I’m not mistaken, either way you’ve done incredibly good job both of you! Thank you, Chris❤️🙏

    Yes to the Hawaiian shirt, but make sure it has polka dots on it, too 😋. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous!! A destination spot right in your own home. Love how you put the lights inside the pond, really shows off the fish. I also love all the plants around, and the floating plants on the wood. That is a steal on the cedar boards 🤯, I'm absolutely sure I couldn't get regular pine anywhere near that cheap. The shubunkin in the center at 13:35 is stunning 😍. Really cool sign from your sister, too! I'm really pleased and so happy for you that this all came together so well! Absolutely love it, very well done my friend 🙂👍👍

    Awesome! You and Darrin outdid yourselves on this pond, I think it will be leak proof being that you used a preform tub, great Idea using the cedar boards too, love the black sand as well, your fish pop in it, this is much better than a 18 inch wide tank for your fish, I knew you were going to use those lights on your pond and they look great lighting it up, are the top boards strong enough to put a few small decorative stones on them? because a few flat stones maybe some river rock would look nice between some of the plants, great work Chris!
