I picked this up at a garage sale today(hosted by the animal shelter).

Paid $35. It's made of some kind of dense plastic. It breaks into 2 pieces, the bottom half weighs about 50lbs. The top about 20lbs.

The pump doesn't seem to be working...but it appears to be an oil based pump(looks like it's leaking). So, I may get another one.

Right now it's cleaning the leaves out of it I go.

More pics mid-progress got most leaves out but there's still more

First pic is the back of it (with a second opening). It's about 5 inches higher then the front so it won't overflow there

And here's the cleaned pond with it running.. I bleached it earlier to kill anything. I'm not going to use this water yet. I'm going to drain it and move it.

Daughter wanted to pose with it

I would love to put goldfish it...even one but they would out grow it quickly.

So far the plan is to put Rosy Reds in it.

Strangely, the wife even mentioned putting it in the house.
