Where are you located? I am in Chicago Heights and have a 3500 gallon indoor pond. Still cycling it but should be ready in a couple weeks (have introduced pond bacteria starters).

On a budget, as this is a pond in my atrium at work and just getting filtration going is expensive!

If you let me come see your pond, you can have them for free(I'm just interested, sounds cool). Really, once you think the pond is good and going you can have them. Let me know if you need help with anything,I work at a store and might be able to hook you up with some stuff for for a good price.

Sounds cool. I just started cycling it today- I have a whole thread about it in the general discussion but here are a couple pics of the pond (while filling it on Monday)- pond is in a climate controlled atrium, has external 10K GPH pump with filter and heater. UV filter and a pond sand filter are going to be added soon (something I need if you can get me good prices!). Pond measures 15'8"X15'8"X25" at the edge-it gets a touch deeper in the center (tapers towards the filter intake about 1"). Roughly 3600 gallons when you take the island and filter intake space out.

Pond with a little water in it:
