Show Us Your Container Ponds!

I see so many cool container ponds, barrels, stock tanks etc. throughout the forum and thought it would be nice to see them all together in one thread. I know some people have used some very clever containers for ponds.......
Here are a couple of old pics of one of my barrels, two different years

I think I will try a container garden this year, question, does any one have problems with mosquitos with them. I have a whiskey barrell planter by an old no longer working pump, thought I might even run a small hose through the pump and trickle water out. This is what it looks like now in the dead of winter, sure if I line it, it would work good for a container garden.

We use either a couple of fish or Mosquito Dunks to kill mosquitoes.

These photos are great inspirations, especially for people new to ponding. I started with a barrel pond to "test the waters", so to speak. Here are some old photos of my container ponds:
Here's my biggest "container" pond so far:
And I'm hoping to build a bigger one this spring to showcase my tropical waterlilies. Anyone have a spare 8 foot stock tank or sugar kettle lying around?

Nice container ponds
I want one that I can summer Spike the betta in this year. He deserves a vacation.
Joyce sure can put together a great pond no doubt!

OMGosh those are beautiful! It gets so hot here on our deck, I'm afraid any little fish would cook in a container garden, even with a lot of plants. Our silly dogs would drink out of it, too.
