You must be somewhere warm?

Yes, I live in Florida but it gets cold during winter anyways so I will have to get a heater.

Heating that outdoors will cost a fortune!

Looks amazing so far! Are you going to put rocks/driftwood on the bottom?

I have a friend that I helped build a solar heater to keep his pond from freezing. Last winter here in Michigan it kept the water just above freezing. I don't know how the fish faired. Ive had to many issues this year to really be in contact with him other then the occasional text. But he had native species so I assume they were fine since the water never froze.

What are you going to be using for filtration?

I’m making a homemade filter.
I will use shade cloth as mechanical and a moving bed filter for biological and some extras that I’m thinking of using.
