Thanks for all the comments, but like I said...Thanks to all here on this site. I never had tried a pond before. My brother has one and was a little help, but mostly just joined up and started reading about it here. Great advise and lots of pictures here to help with the design.
The one problem I did have was the area between the two ponds. It leaked first try because I just overlapped the 2 liners. The flat rock for the waterfall just made the water backup and leak through. The bottom liner actually started to float up because all the water I was losing under the liner. One can of rock foam solved that, only after removing a lot of the rocks to get at it.
I did actually built a plant shelf under the surface of both ponds, but those darn plants are $$$$. Could only afford a few to start. More to come next year.
Thanks again for helping me out with such a great site.
