Default My 1st pond and a hello to all

Hi everyone I am new to the forum and from what I have seen so far I have been missing outÂ* Â* Â*I 1st started keeping fish only last spring so my 1st year is almost up. I have had trials and tribulationsÂ* as I suppose everyone else has when they first started out. Now entering my 2nd year I have the "bug"Â* I am just about to start a new pond build expanding from a measly 1000 gallon upto a slightly less measly 3500 gallon (even then i suppose I wont be happy lol )
I have put up a pic of my 1st attempt as I said it is 1000 gallonsÂ* with a KK FV500 filter, a fluidised bed filter, 30W UV and an Oase 6000 pump
