In-ground Pool soon to be a POND!!!

[kakojones]

I was going to do this with the pool at my girlfriend's house, sure would beat cleaning the damn thing every weekend.

I was looking online sometime ago for info on building a pond at my friend's house and I came across a site for swimming ponds, they look awesome.

Good luck with the pool/pond. can't wait to see pics.

Well have you ever swam in a pond or a lake with fish in it. Kinda the same thing right???? As long as the filtration is good enough I don't see a problem at all. Anyways how else are you going to clean it.

Just don't use it as a toilet or you could booost ammonia if the pond is too small.

i took some pictures but i need to make them smaller to fit on MFK. I put a 12" Pleco in it and he loves it. Has any one used solar heaters? Also under water lights? my pool doesnt have any on the pool walls. Any ideas?

Where in Fl are you?

Yes to the solar heating, several different ways.

If you don't want to punch holes in the pool walls, I have seen hang in lights but you have a cord to deal with. Try and stay with low voltage lighting. I sealed some hockey puck halogens from HD to use in ponds and pools for special effects.
