Is there a way to see the underwater camera, or any other cameras for that matter? I can only see the one backyard one.

Inquiring minds want to know -- how much did the original design cost you? And after the additional changes?

Mahalo! Nice job!

I am only 22 and in no position to purchase a home or anything, but this has utterly inspired me to make a pond when I am able!

Did you hire someone to design all of these things or was this all done on your own? I know next to nothing about aquariums/ponds/how they work and wonder if it's worth reading up on and studying or hiring someone to plan it all for you.

Thanks again for this wonderful post!!

I like the logs and thought folks have mentioned cork bark. Is that something you can buy or just found. I just got 3 more rescue turtles, now up to four and want additional floating basking areas in my pond rather than having to build up more stacks of concrete blocks since the bottom is approx. 3 ft deep. Sources or other ideas greatly appreciated.

You have to buy cork bark, though most basking areas don't "float". They are also limited in size, so I'm not sure how many you would need for an outdoor pond.
