How has the pond held up? I imagine if I did that here in Florida, it would be covered in algae within a week! I love the idea and execution, but I’m not sure if it would work from me.

It gets algae here in Texas our weather is pretty much the same . The key is to clean it daily . That's just sweeping it out and refilling it . Then once a month scub it with a bruch . Not too bad . Put it in a shady area the algae doesn't grow as fast.

Love, Love it! I may have to try the concrete, it may be easier to scrub the algae off. The clay seems to allow them to get in deep rather quick!
