    A lovely looking pond this, well done !!

    What did you use to seal the glass in and the liner around the glass, as I am working out what I need for mine, I would prefer frameless ??

    I used the ha6 silicone to glue it into the rebate and glue the liner to wood and glass. Then used the expensive black gold label stuff to run a bead around the edge of liner onto glass, that's prob not necessary just me being over cautious

    Looks great, you must be pleased with how its turned out. What do you think of the Draco drum? Are you pleased with it?

    Thanks. Yeah for my first build I'm really pleased. The fish seem to be loving it as well..

    I went for the draco as it seemed like a decent product at a good price and so far so good it was easy to install and seems to be keeping the pond water nice and clean.. i don't have any previous experience to compare it to tho.. i did have a tiny leak on one of the plastic welds but managed to fix that by heating it with a soldering iron..

    I'm waiting for my glass to be delivered later this week,i'm fixing the window like you've done,
    my question is whats the "tape" called/necessary that overlaps the liner and glass?

    Hi its just decent duck tape. I only used it to hold the liner to the glass whilst I let the silicone dry for 24hrs. I then removed it and ran a bead of goldseal black sealant around the edge of liner to make sure the liner couldn't peel away from the glass. I let that dry for 36hrs before filling it to make sure it went rock hard.. touch wood 2/3months in and no signs of any leaks

    Thank you, its also reassuring to hear from someone who's already done it months ago the way i'm doing it as i'm sure we all wonder if its gonna be leak free etc.
