We just have to give it 3-4 weeks with the gold fish in to give the filters time to build up bacteria

You managed to do all that on a £200 budget...Take my hat off to you.... :thumbup:
A very tidy job indeed.... :clap:

Did you know, the Irish water skiing team spent the whole of last year looking for a sloping lake.
So they could practice without having to hire a speedboat.
BT, maybe you could help them out, and make a reverse of what you have done.
A real nice job, and done on a tight budget as well.
My neighbour has a pond like that, saves us having to feed the cat occasionally.
