So where do I begin at building a pond? Something along the lines of 8-10'x6'x2-3'. Any links, tips, ideas, etc. would be appreciated.

Thats a good size pond. Shop & surf around for ideas and get lots of info on pumps and filters. A good biological pond filter would'nt go astray and remember power outlets.

In relation to gnr4's question - what about a sealed concrete pond where the sealant has cracked/flaked at the top edges near the rocks.

Re-sealing ideas would be handy please (I assume I'll have to relocate the fishies first, drain & reseal then cure).

This may helf gnr4 to start right in the first place if planning to do a concrete/rock pond and not use a liner.

Thanks for advice all
