Ive been talking about building a garage pond and designing different kinds for a couple weeks. I finally started today. I took and old 250 gallon plastic tub pond and cut a plywood base and sat the pond on that. Then I cut 2 pieces of 2x4 to sit on each cinder block. I put these under each plant shelf. I have liner to put in the tub due to a crack. I need to hose it of again since its been in my garage for a couple weeks after I pulled it out of the ground. Ill toss some rag in as a underlayment and put in the liner in tomorrow. Ill fill it 1/3 of the way and leave it for a couple days. If its good after that ill fill it another third and if that works out Ill fill it little more and be done. If I need to Ill make a cross brace system out of steel pipe. I have a 550 gallon tetra pond submersible pump. My filter will be a 20 gallon tub with a base of cotton and lave rock on top. inlet will be half inch tubing and outlet will be 1 inch pvc. so we will see if it works out. Any ideas for stocking. I have 3 comets that need to move out of a 10 gallon. Another choice would be a bull head cat. How would he be in a pond with liner and 2 levels as the first is small and the others are shelves.
