My Koi Pond

I scared a heron away shortly after I built my pond.  He never came back, so I can only assume he died that day.  I put bullhead minnows in last year for mosquito control.  They're flourishing, so I suppose they are eating well.  I switched to a dry pump that pulled significantly less amps than my wet one.  It runs nonstop at a cost of about $20 a month.  I use lava rock, brillo pads, UV and a gravel bottom for a filter.  Water is clear.
What did you scare him off with a 12 gauge?   :whistling:

Very nice, when I get settled in a permanent location, one of these years.  A coy pond is on my list....good job!
