    Planning for the Future: Building a ~10,000 gal pond

    Hello hello! It's good to be back on here after a few years; I had to give fish keeping a backseat for a few years because not only does my college allow a 10 gallon maximum tank limit in dorm rooms, but it was also a pain to transfer that back and forth every couple of months. Now that the end...
