Looking for clicking fingers emoji.
If a dogs sense of smell is so good, why do they need to get so close to the other dogs butt?

A teaser :lol:

I still don't know how to read these things. My son reckons it is about 4800 gallons

The pond is built the filters are plumbed in and all that is left to be done is to decide on what we are going to finish the top of the pond with :think:
Oh and the air bar fitted, we have dropped it in for now as am unsure where to put it yet but that is an easy one. Once it was filled we did have a quite serious leak around the skimmer which we believe was a silicon failure as the pond filled completely and went down over night. :whistle:

I will post up more of the build pictures as soon as I get a bit of time as my workload in September is mental.

Hang in a minute :think:
Is the first picture the starting point before the fill?

Yes it is. I tried to reset the meter but got bored of standing there with a compressor trying to go back to zero. :lol:

48,067-26,000=22,067
That’s in metric
22,067/4.5 = 4,903.778 imperial gallon

If you undermine the liner I’m sure it will stretch for the few extra gallon
