hey guys im buidling a 300 gal pond(maybe 400) its 4x4x3 feet. the main questions i have are, is it possible to build a pond that i can use 2x4's but can you use large metal braces(90 deg angle braces) to hold the frame together? do i need to build a base or should the liner sit on the cement? Also i was wondering if i could use a under water,fountain pump to pump the water into a contaner with, sponges,bio balls,and peat. i was thinking about using a rubbermaid and drilling into the bass of it putting the end of the pump into it with 3 comaprtments and drilling holes out of the top for the filtered water to flow out of into the pond( i can use aquarium sealent all around the top of the container to seal it from leaks)
there will be a plexi lid to the tank so on the back of the tank i can set lights and so i can open the front up for cleaning.
i also keep plecs so i will be using 3 sets of pond liner to make sure i have no leaks
does this sound do able? do you think it would work.
its a raise up pond for
1) redtail catfish
1)jaguar catfish(rtcxtsn)
1) tiger shovel nose catfish
1) false tigrinus catfish
1) emperor I.d shark
1) silver arowana
1) clown knife
1) alligator gar
1) red fin plec
1) giant sailfin
thanks a ton
