I have a new round plastic pond that I filled up yesterday and it is about 65 inches in diameter and is 18 inches deep. (205 gallons) Usually the highs are 100F for July and 90F for August and June. I have a lot of lilies on hand to provide extra shade and I also have alot of other plants like hornwort that I'll get from a natural pond about a mile away, and also some Petsmart pond plants too. There will be 2 comet goldfish, 2 shubunkins, and 10 minnows evetually in this pond. Plus the frog eggs (Now tadpoles) will be in it.
Would the pond overheat in the summer?
And also in the winter, we get ice up to 3 inches thick if we leace it alone, but I'll be breaking holes in it every morning so the fish wont die.
