Well, the one I got isn't huge but it's really healthy.
My pond is dug without a shelf around the edges.
It was my idea actually, I thought it might work out easier for Mark when he was digging it and it's worked out great for me.
The left end is about 10 inches deep, the middle is about 15 inches deep, then it drops off on the right to about 3 feet deep.
So the whole left end is like one big shallow end/shelf that I can put plants on......works out great for me....I put all the pots of stuff on that end, then I put all of my floaters in the deep end.
I bought some special pond pots last year and my fiber optic grass would be underwater totally if I just stuck it in the 10 inch end. SOOOOO, I put a brick in the one corner and put the pot on top of the brick so that everything but the top inch of the pot is underwater.

Cool Jiffy, is it in mostly shade? Your water seems pretty clear....with mine being in full sun almost all day long it really gets green this time of year. 
Here's my Fiber Optic Grass. The liner won't be showing like that when I top it off tomorrow, I just didn't have time today.
