It's A Pond, It's A Pool...No, It's A Hybrid!

​Modern Design Aquascaping’s goal is to educate and inspire the world about ponds and waterfalls! We’re revisiting Maryville, Tennessee to one of the unique ponds we’ve built it’s a hybrid pond. This pond is a mix of a traditional Koi, Ecosystem, and Recreational pond.. like we said it’s a hybrid. 

How did we set up this hybrid?
 
You have the exposed bottom with the natural stone border around the outside edge of the pond and gives it that ecosystem pond look. The pond is stocked with koi fish and aquatic plants. Also, the pond has jets, so the pond has good circulation around the pond and two skimmers. One skimmer pulls water from the surface and the second skimmer is a bottom drain, which you guessed it pulls from the bottom.
We’ve got ecosystem style pond skimmers; traditional koi pond bottom drains, jets used in recreational ponds, up-flow wetland filter, and pumps.  
 
What’s The End Result?
The benefit of a hybrid pond is that you can customize your favorite parts of all three ponds into your backyard escape. Modern Design Aquascaping includes interaction areas in its ponds so you’ll get out and get into nature, but the recreational pond is the ultimate immersion into interactions with your pond and fish. The recreational element to your pond takes it to the next level instead of just sitting with your feet in the water you’re swimming with the fishes.. in a good way.
