Start to finish 600 gal pond build pics

[jaytech33]

Finally done. Work and other things took a 1 week project and stretched it over a few months! Tomorrow I will finish filling it up and get ready to put my RTC in his new home.
Pond is cycled at 1/2 full, I have 2 more bottles of Stability, tons of "seed" material and a cycled XP2 that will help speed up the process.

I estimate total cost around $700.
Specs:
600 gallons
2400 GPH from a Pondmaster Hydrive
Sump with a ton o' scrubbies, filter floss and (3) 300 watt heaters.

Wow very clean! Great job! I love the bamboo!

Looks nice. I like the lid concept. Do you have a ply sheet on the bottom to hold your frame in place or is it just the frame sitting on the floor as shown in the pic?

 

[jaytech33]

Nope just the frame. I would say about $100 of the total cost is all the steel brackets used to make this thing as strong as a tank.

I forgot to give thanks to MFK and the members here who helped inspire this build and give me some ideas on how to build. Thank you !!!!!
