How did I miss all this? Wow!
Nanci, you've inspired me. I'm going to build a pond next year, and it's all your fault. haha. Hopefully, I can do a nice progression thread like you've done here.
I'm going to be building a koi pond. woot!
As many others have said, your boxies are very lucky to have such a loving mom that would take time out of her life to build them such a lovely home. It makes me all teary-eyed just thinking about it. You're awesome.

Get some black mollies. They'll eat mosquitos and breed fast. And they'll live in any water quality.

Yes, they can get in and out just fine! I haven't seen them lounging around in there yet, though.
How smart are turtles? They moved in Sunday. Starting Monday, I got home at 5:00 PM and turned on the drip irrigation. At 6:30 or 7:00 PM, I went out and turned on the fish fountain to refill the pond. By Wednesday, Fagalo figured out that when the fountain was on, if she came out and begged, I would feed her!

Road Trip!!
I headed up to St. Augustine, Florida this morning to purchase fish and plants for the pond. Tricksterpup had recommended this place to buy killifish, and I promptly forgot. But then when I was looking for them on line, I came across this place again, which was open to the public AND open Saturdays, so I went for a drive. http://www.aquaculturestore.com/ Sachs Systems Aquaculture is owned by Paul Sachs, the friendliest guy you could ever wish to do business with. I told him my friend Tricksterpup had asked me to look at newts. The newts are in a ten gallon aquarium covered in algae with hides made out of what appeared to be tangles of green twine. I couldn't see them at all. But after I had picked out all my fish and plants, Paul insisted on catching a male and female for me, for a closer look, and then convinced me that I needed them for my pond!

Loverly! When I was about 8 years old, me and my little brother and my bestfriend/girlfriend Annissa would go to the local swamp..
We went for a walk one day and when we where playing a imaginary shooting game we found ourselves in a woodland, where there was of course lots of hiding place's to make the game more fun, anyways thats when we discovered the swamp! And it was full of newts! We spent years going down there all the time, catching the newts, looking at them and then letting them go! It was the best years of my life, unfortunately a building agent chopped down the tree's and filled the swamp with rock. :/
Goodluck with the newt, they are awesome!
