Cheryl,
I have one of the three tier ones and have been very pleased. The only
problem I have had has been the leaves that fall and/or blow into the ponds.
I clean them out a couple of times a week in the fall. During the summer,
topping off the water to make up for evaporation seems to be the extent of
the maintenance. I do use barley pads to keep down the algae.
I have placed a heater in the lower pond and it seemed to do the trick for
the whole series even during quite cold and snowy weather last winter.
I have had chipmunks move in under the ponds, but it has not caused any real
problems.
Bill
