We are building a new home in West Richland, Wa. New city code requires a fire pond that is apx 12,000 gallons. I would love to have a nice pond with a waterfall and plants. New to ponds alltogether.....where do I start decorating? The fire hydrant attachment has two strainers on it to prevent fish and debris getting pulled. We have a 2 and a 3 year old, boys, so a little fishing pond maybe? I think it's going to be a sq, apx 32 x 32, with a 1.5ft slop down to 3 ft deep to the bottom. Frost line in that area is 24". Any ideas out there?
