So, how do I filter/heat/maintenance a GIANT aboveground pond?
what kind of material do you recommend i the inhabitants are to be arowanas, catfish, pacus?

Also, are there any BIG strong aboveground ponds that won't pucture from a HUGE turtle's nails?
 
Depends on the size of the pond as to heat/filter requirements. Covered or uncovered top? A think pond liner for catfish and or turtles with probably a wood structure as the main frame
 
Oh, so you have to build it..
is it easy?

and why do catfish need thick liner like turtles spines i'm guessing..?

I had one of those pools with pool filters and ladders on my mind.lol

for the size i have no idea yet..something big enough for a tiger shovelnose catfish, clown knifefish, peacock bass, silver arowana, redbellied pacu, iridecent shark..(and maybe more)

should I get a cover?
 
you could cover an then have a viewing window. a cover help keeps heat in for all those fish i say 2000-3000. 1000 for the tsn him/her self.
 
hey how many feet in diameter would a 3K Gallon pond be?
And by viewing window, you're saying like get a cover and then cut a hole or something so we can see the fish below right?

would those pond filters for underground ponds work with aboveground ponds? and do they have huge heaters for ponds?
 
That's pretty big! Where can I buy them?

That one guy told me target but they didn't have the same size as he does online..
 
if yo set the pond into the ground you will loose less heat also if you can get a deeper pond it will hold its heat better
 
Oh okay, not like concrete bottoms but dirt bottoms..

how do i get the heat though??
