Anyone got Pond?

by dawgtrain

Any of you have a pond they made in their yard? We just rebuilt ours by removing the plasitc shell kind and digging out bigger with liner ect..... great fun to make. We have a water fall and i was wondering without having to buy a $50 waterbucket fall thing how can we rig it to get a better flow? We have a good pump with good flow but I cannot see buying one of those plastic bucket type things for so much money...Hate to sound cheap but I guess i am on this one we spent almost 400 on the pump and filter and 150 on the liner and so on sooooo any suggestions? thanks

You could build a different one out of concrete and make it look all natural...

what boss said. Or you could use a 5 gallon bucket and buy the lighting covers that we reefers use for frag racks. Cut them to fit your trays and pump, bam. :)
