Looks good! Could do with a bit more flora in and around the side of the pond, like shrubs etc. I wish I had the time to do something like that, ponds/aquariums are great, very therapeutic.
 
Are you going to put anything on top of the wall? Just looks a little unfinished with bare brick IMO
 
nice pond mate, and some nice looking carp, mind if i come over and fish over your fence? :D

going to put some netting over it to stop birds and cats trying to get em?

Was about to say exactly that, any herons passing overhead will think it's an exotic all they can eat buffet :D

Looking very good so far though, as someone else said I assume you're going to get some shrubs etc for the rest of the garden?
 
you need earth all around it? or make a slope up to it with some grass or something.

impressive none the less :D
 
Would be a very tempting offer in the height of the summer :)

Looks very good, I hope to make something of a feature like that for my garden when i move out.

I however would prefer a more nataural looking water filtering system, a waterfall or something of that sort.

Great work :)

Yeah I think so too :) Just something to finish it off. But it's a very nice shape though, and it'll look awesome once you have that waterfall going :)
