Salt-water pond with waterfall

25 10:00:07

Question
My home is on a canal in the Florida Keys, and we wish to build a waterfall with stream down the slope of our property ending in a formed pool at the canal's edge near the mangroves.  I want to circulate canal water up to the waterfall, down the stream and into the pond where I would like to keep indigenous fish.  Of course I will provide them hiding places from the birds, with fishing line criss-crossing to discourage wading birds.  Do you have suggestions and references of places I can read about how to accomplish this dream?

Answer
Hi there!

If you send me pictures of the place, I could help you to design it.
There is a very good book on pond and waterfall building published by Aquascape Designs it is called "The pond builders bible"
You can call them @ 1-866-877-6337

Good Luck!
