Just had an odd Idea people on craigslist are forever giving away hot tubs they want hauled away. Has anyone ever considered transforming one into a small pond or aquarium ect? Most are fiberglass shell and have plenty of pre drilled holes for plumbing and such. Was just thought.
Hot tub - tank pond?

Great idea! I saw some people on here using their hot tubs as a temporary pond for their fish.

I have done it during the summer for the the last 4-5 years. I don't use the built in plumbing, I just stick a pond filter and pump on it and it works great. Different fish use the different depth ledges. It kinda helps separate territories.
Not a bad idea, but the plumbing on old hot tubs can be a nightmare, I know from experience.
I would remove all the old plumbing and plug up every hole except for 1-2 intakes and a few outputs from the filter(s).

That's one heavy pond. I thought about this and quickly said hell no. I'm a professional mover and I hate moving spas why would I want to do it willingly and for free. Hella heavy and pain in the ass.
My buddy does this. He took an old hot tub siliconed all the holes up and runs it with a pond pump. Been running for like 3 years now.
