Years ago I built a quick water feature by my shop area. It was brick with a liner and a few plants. Amazingly it has held up really well but the liners disintegrate and makes it some work to pull it all out to replace, so my Uncle and I are going to redo this and make it bit bigger and cement and seal it.
As it is now. It has a small pump, some big red clawed Crawdads and various fish.
Stopped at 2 places to pick up new brick and cement sealant
Base and finishing cement
Sand from the river by our place
Today will be remove the crawdads, fish and plants and set them up in buckets. I need to track down a descent pump and a few lights to set up on a timer
