Hi! Here's my pond

[Roy L.]

I am trying to start a 2000 gal pond. I have the liner, pump ,and filter. any one have any suggestions.

If you'r gonna make a natural pond, be very careful with the edges.
It's not easy to make it good, so the liner don't show.
I think it was a very good idea the way Loubard did the edges.
And a good tip is to make the pond deep, so the fish have plenty of space to swim. Then it's easyer for the fish in the wintertime too, if you have cold climate.

Take pictures when you start digging, and we can comment as you go.
Good luck

Hiya Roy and Fishyfishy, welcome to MFK. The Ides are illegal in Oregon, dammit. Nice pond. Roy, do you have problems over wintering?
FF where are you and do you want to keep locals or things like Koi?

It works fine to over winter the fish in the pond, but it's very important to keep an open hole in the ice with an airpump.
Othervice they suffocate under the ice becauseof the sumpgasses and lack of oxygen.
And since water is heaviest at +4 celcius it's important to prevent the water from sirculating much.
