The view from inside after the first cleaning. Currently draining also to help remove debris. So far all I've used to clean is a skimmer net and a hose.
Next step is to hose the rest down and scrub any parts that are still dirty.
The worst part about all this is there are mosquitos everywhere and I can't wear insect repellent because I don't want residue in the pond. Anyone got some mosquito fish they wanna ship me?
You and me both man. When I was washing it down today all I could smell was chlorine. Before I put my fish in there, I'm planning to get some feeder guppies and toss them in to 1. make sure it's safe for fish 2. eat mosquitoes!!
Filling had commenced! So far it reeks of chlorine so I'm going to let it sit for a couple days then test it to see if there's any chlorine on the water. Then go buy some feeder guppies and drop them in to see if there's any chlorine or anything else. Then I'll look in to adding fish I care about
