Porbably 80 yr old pond, came with house. Has a crack, not too far down, think I can seal with hydrolic, waterproof patch compound. Want to seal pond with something that isn’t harmful, in case I want to add fish later or if neighborhood animals sneak in and drink. Pipe to resevoir (has a waterfall) comes out near the bottom, so a liner would need to be punctured there. Also because of the wall at the waterfall, and at the bridge (all one piece with the pond) there would be no where for the liner to go, ie just stick up in those 3 areas, so I think the liner would probably be a bad idea. Any products mentioned in searches, I can’t find, or are $100 or more.
Seen acrylic concrete sealers, doesnt say if ok for ponds though. Also one search doesn’t work well. Have HD and Lowes nearby, but no one there knows.
Pond: 14 ft long kidney shaped, 1.5 ft deep, 1.5 ft wide up to waterfall area, then expands to 2 1/4 ft deep and 4 feet wide. Approx 350 gallons.

Thanks!

we want to build a large pond, dam up a spring fed creek, pond will be about 2 acres, any idea how wide and tall to build dam? Want to drive over dam, so will need to be about 15 feet wide on top. Terrain has good slope away from dam side and many dry creeks it can back into.

I need a pond heater, but they are a bit expensive. I was wondering if de-icers will heat up a pond since they are cheap.
If not, can you put up some sites where i can find a good pond heater that can heat a pond that is 1000 gallons and is 5 feet deep.

If the amount of rainwater to be collected is 180 thousand gallons, can pond liner still be used or construction of a storage basin is advisable?

We just installed a small pond. It is only 125gal. I would like to put some water lilies in but know some pond plants can be very invasaive. Also do you need to feed them or other water plants like you do garden flowers? What kind of plants do you suggest for around the pond and other plants in the pond?

I plan on making a pond the size of a football field and about 20-25 feet deep, planning on making a rope swing near it so me and my friends can jump, swim, rope swing and what not. How can i keep this pond clean enough to swim in it? It is quite the ways out from my house and it will be near a bunch of trees.

Ooohlala asked:


I have a 3 month old pond and have already had two batches of fish fry from my Shubunkin goldfish. The pond is only 1,000 gallons and it was supposed to house my one koi and 4 shubunkins. I noticed about 50 fry swimming around in my little pond. What causes fish to mate so much? I know some people want their fish to mate, but have no luck. I don’t want too many fish to crowd the pond. What causes my fish to “over-mate”?
