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 :D . You only got one? :ROFL:

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

Gotta love the the low tech approach. What's going in it.
 
That's incredible...and the high tech securing system too!

One question...How do you get the birds in there?

I need more sleep.

Nothing of midnights falls apart!
 
looking good midnight. I wanted to setup a temp pond like that. I had a look at Toys 'R Us and they only had a tiny one about 150 gallons
