Derekp's Pond Build Thread...

When you are out of college are you going to redig this pond at your place, or I would say a LARGER one

Hell no. Its going to be wayyyyy larger than this one. This one is only a measly 13,000 gallons.

Now your talkin, you should have the ability to fish out of it if you so pleased.

I have a dream to have a pond that is all around the backyard with a deck over it so you can walk to different areas of it. With several large waterfalls that are 10 feet tall and places where it is 6 to 8 feet deep. All heated with a very large filter so I can have tropicals in it. But that is many years and many hundreds of thousands of dollars away.

But what is the point of life without large dreams to work towards?


Can't wait to see the pond progress. Are you going to work on it at all today?

Okay, so I spent the last two hours this morning putting carpet down and I have just laid the liner in. My dad and I struggled to put it in place. That thing is freaking heavyyyy!! It is now filling up in order for me to finish shaping it. I have to fill it up completely in order to know where to cut it and raise it a little to make it level. But it is filling as I type.

btw, i think im going to ditch my pacus but im keeping the aro and oscar. the pacus are roughly 10-12" right now. idk if you still would make the drive just for them, but if so then theyre all yours.

im going to build a 8x8x3' pond for the aro, and probably do about 3-5 aros in there in the long run
