Milky Way Galaxy,
After i finshed making my 800gal at my grandpa's i decied it was NOT big enough. That i needed a true monster! So after a LONG time of convincing my mom (my dad agreed not matter what so ya...) she agreed to let me build a 8x8x3 pond!!!!! WHOOO!!!! and later on i plan on upgrading it to 8x8x4!!!! it will be 1,200 gallons(the 8x8x3) and later on when i upgraDE it will be 2,000 gallons!!!! So here is was am going to do,
Build i will buy http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 28 of these. Build the rectangel base(28?; so i can stack them to 3ft). Then to hold them down i will nail the liner to the side. And so the wood doest fall or something like it. It will use super glue to stick them all together.
Filter: I will build a custom filter. Update on that later.
Stock: An RTC, One Gold Koi (for my mom), and a Giant Gourmie.
Gravel: Sand. Do they have black sand????
Pic's will be later. I will start right after school ends! this will be the awesomest summer!!!:headbang2 and please give me tips or errors i made. thanks!!!!
 
HD has 6" timber nails, great for nailing these together.
For extra support you can line the inside with plywood.
These timbers were $1.97 ea. a week ago. They put them back to the regular price.

I bought 30 of them last week for my mom's flower beds.
 
not to be a dick or anything but you always say you are building these ponds, but we never get pics or proof.
