That's a lovely pond you have built there Pricer8 ..........but you have a Laburnum tree right behind it which is highly poisonous
( stunning tree though ) sadly every part of it is poisonous, would be worried with the seeds falling into your pond and the fish
having a munch on them and also the effect on the water chemistry.
But I expect you know that already....................

Thanks Anne. To be honest, I didn’t know about the Laburnum. Haven’t had too many issues so far with poison but it is a bone of contention with the wife as it looks great for 2 weeks a year then drops a sh*t load in the pond that I’m constantly netting. I’d like to get rid and she wants to keep it so this might help my case Also haven’t had too many issues with the water. Had it tested yesterday again to check, managed to turn it into a home schooling lesson on water chemistry with my boy too. The sunglasses were his PPE

Do you know roughly how far away you built your pond from the drain running through your garden?
I’m facing a similar problem where I have what I believe to be a waste water drain running down my garden. I’m not building my pond above it, but from what I can tell by looking down the man hole, it follows my garden path, which runs down the side of where the pond will be (I mean right next to it). I’m just worried about the weight of the pond potentially collapsing the drain and wondered if this is something you considered? (I’m probably being paranoid)
