    Good morning Greg hope your having an amazing day despite everything thats going on in our world. I'm so happy that were still going to get videos every week like normal. So excited about the online program. I really want to take the course online and change to the aquascape lifestyle instead of decorative concrete ponds that we do. I don't do the standard concrete ponds i do the in exposed aggregate like how your walkway is to your house. However our concrete is alot more defined than yours. If we lived closer to you i would redo your walkway for free to really complement your front pond and entrance. Love what your doing. Your an amazing person that is willing to teach and help anyone possible to succeed. Your truly an inspiration. Thanks for the joy you bring to so many of us and the way your changing lives. Have a great week and ill see you next video like always. Blessings to you and the family.

    Greg! If you have time during everything that's going on, it would be AWESOME to have a video series from someone like yourself about basic pond improvements, maintenance and tips for the average pond owner. How to build bog filters (on a budget maybe?) and so on!
    I'd love to have an Aquascapes pond, but I'm 20 so our small family built pond will have to do for a little while!
    Thanks for everything you do :)

      The water is crystal clear . The rocks will have some algae on them . This is normal and healthy in an eco-system pond
