    One of the coolest ponds I ever saw in AZ had glass between the pond and the pool. I didn't get in the pool, but I saw Pics of the view. If I ever have the money I will also have this. Just like tanks, the bigger the pond, the easier to care for.

    Yes it is a piece of glass, and with the glass you see the both ways. That why I call it "THEAQUAPOND''.

    That would be crazy cool. Will the pond water stay clear though? Maybe all the ponds I've seen were abused. Is it possible to keep them clean like an aquarium?

    What type of tile did you use? It looks like a porcelian.
