AWESOME. I want a pond like this very badly.

Someday I will have one.

Will you catch the catfish yourself? And why sturgeon? I'm not sure how well they would do in a pond environment. They are a big water fish...

Great work!

Awesome pond! I wish I had the land and lived in an area that would allow me to do what your doing, with the trout that will be AWESOME!

Dont think the trout would do well in a backyard pond in Phoenix.....

Seems to be quite the time consuming project. Can't wait to see the final product.

One time I think I was told I couldn't buy anymore cigars. That didn't work out so well

Nah, I'm getting both the catfish and sturgeon from a local hatchery. The catfish will be 6" and the sturgeon around 17". I wanted sturgeon because I've never seen them in a backyard pond before. I talked with the hatchery owner for quite a while and he said they'd do very well in there. He actually has one in a 1500 gallon pond. I suppose it's because they're so docile.

Yeah I really don't think they would either

I can't wait to have the guys over for a herf on the back deck once it's done

Green with envy...fluorescent green.

I would love to see more pictures. These ecosystems are a true love of mine! Keep up the good work!
