My 1200g indoor pond build

Do the Pacus like their new home?

very much so, at the LFS they just sat still and looked sad now they are constantly combing the whole pond together in a school and playing around, makes it worth it to see them living a better life you know?

also took in about a 8" jack dempsy and suprisingly he is even schooling with the pacus

Sweet. Wish I could do something like that in my basement.

well tonight i found water between the pond and basement wall, there was some water on the top edge of the pond so im hoping it was from the fish splashing around and hope it isnt a leak

it has had water in it for a week and a half so i dont know why it would develop a leak now

not at all, woke up this morning and its a little worse, going to go get a shop vac and try and locate where its coming from, sucks cuz i have a dry basement, no sump pump so if i have to drain it i will have to tie into the house plumbing, which i planned on for water changes anyway

Not good.

Could just be a tiny pin prick hole in the liner where the water pressure's forced it against something sharp or anything! Nightmare. If you find it's that what about trying double or triple lining it to be on the safe side in the future?

And yes, pics with fish in please!

well i just vaccumed up about 5g water from around the back side of the pond, i noticed the water last night about 5pm and its just after 1pm now so if it is a leak it must be very small with 1000g or better in the pond, still praying for splashing, im sure its possible with 3 pacus around 16-18"

pics soon
