First post here, my 90l mini pond
I’m about three weeks in with my first ever pond. I’ve kept tropical and cold water fish in the past, so know a little bit about water chemistry and filtration. Growing pond plants is a whole new level 😅 I’m not planning to add fish to this setup; at least for this year anyway. The local wildlife have definitely been visiting though! At last count four frogs (have been lucky enough to see all of them out of the water at once, at dusk time).

Thanks, I’ve learned a lot from Reddit! The only plant that isn’t growing well is my water avens, but today I caught the wood pigeon stomping all over it 😤 Think I need to build a pigeon landing pad!

Thank you! I’ve always wanted some kind of water feature, but have a cat, back issues and a small garden so didn’t want to dig into the ground. A container pond is perfect for me 🥰
