my diy 10 dollar 211g temp pond

[midnight]

211 gallons 6' x 15" pool from walmart,10 bucks.
they had a 8', x 18" "450 gallon i think" for 15 bucks. "didnt want one that big tho"
bucket is on a milk crate.
theres holes in the bottom of the bucket.
bucket is filled with some old pond media.
i also added a bunch of fatheads.
getting a bigger pump and bird netting for it next.

Walmart...sure...

Next door neighbor kid is going to be mad when he finds out you took it.

What did you find to put in it?

A piece of carpet under the milk crate will keep it from punching thru the liner (experience talking here ).

What size pump did you start with?
Takes longer to fill it than to build it . You only got one?

This is actually a good starter for someone who wants to know if they would like a pond.
