umm you might want to raise the edge then, run off draining into pond = XXXX for your fish.
I made a raised edge on my pond out of the clay I was digging out of it then put the liner over that. now if it rains the run off cant get into the pond.
yea im going to leave the edge up about 1-2" and just pile some rocks around it so it cant be seen
so i started to look at places around here for rock, and the place by my house wants 50 dollars for one rock... 1 Freaking rock!
I just read on the other thread that your renting... and your digging up the yard?... if one of my tenants did that I'd flip the F*#k out!
Hope you got some permission for that

the pond is in the ground and full of water. I didnt measure too well and dug about 1' too wide so i am filling back in around the pool. Then i have to find a place that sells rock I can afford to surround the pool and stack over my DIY filter
So i was searching craiglist and found a guy that was selling some stuff, turned out to be a deal of a lifetime. I got this large canister filter with a UV sterilizer, a 900gph mag drive and a 1100gph mag drive for almost free. I traded some old tools for em 
But ya cant judge it yet, I havent put the dirt or rock around it. when its done you wont even be able to tell its a kiddy pool

so theres a small leak around the bowl and i cant find any place that sells a new gasket, but its a small drip every 5-10 seconds so im not worried about it
ok heres a terrible video taken from my blackberry, 3 weeks and im buying plants and rock to surround the pond, will look alot better
