roofing material leaks certain chemicals that are harmful for the fish. There's a couple type of liner out there such as PVC, LPDM, and EPDM. I Think the EPDM is the best rated one since it carries a lifetime warranty and very resistant to puncture and UV damage. Liners can be quite expensive...

I don't have a big backyard so I can only build a small ornamental pond :) Took me one week to do it and in the process it also gave me a farmer's tan LOL

Oh here is the thread i was talking about if anybody out there is interested: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67797

Hey, I am also trying to build a w/d system and I found this...I think its really helpful: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67797

Thanks everyone for your input, after seeing another thread of DIY wet and dry filter...I think I will build one using my old 55 gallon: seems simple enough ( I hope)

I have about 5 Koi's ranging 11-14 inches in size and they make a mess...Most of the canister features are pretty much the same after some research but I found the Jebo or Oddysey to be alot cheaper (wonder if they are good). I am also looking at some wet/dry filtration....man they are...

I recently set up a 125 Gallon and I have two 110 Aquaclear running on it but I don't think it is enough filtration since I have a big fish load. I was thinking of going either Eheim, Rena Filstar, or Magnum 350 on top of the two aquaclear. Any suggestion on which canister filter is the best...

Coool!!!! I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the heads up :dive:

Wow! nice tank! I am looking for some plants to put in my 55 gallon, are you interested in selling me some? :)

I am looking to buy an aquarium set up that is 75 Gallon or bigger :)

seriously, how come there aren't deals like this in NC. All the good ones seem to be in CA. ARGGG!!!

Would you be willing to sell your filters? (minus the tank, canopy, stand and everything else).

for a 1,000 gallon pond- you can stock up to 5-8 koi's of size 10 inches but of course if you have good filtration then you can up that number a little :)

tsurumi pumps are the way to go! but if you can find one that is magnetic driven instead of direct drive, the pump will pay for itself over time :) wow you must have a big pond in order to need a 5000 gph, I am gueesing 10,000 gallons plus or you're pushing a high lift waterfall :eek:

Yankee is right, you dont really don't need a heater as long as it does not completely freeze over. However if the top freezes maybe 2-3 inch, create a small opening for gas exchange so your fish won't suffocate. Moreover, for goldfishs you don't need to make a biofilter-although it wouldn't...

Salt in pond is a very good thing to do, help relieves stess and helps the fish with breathing. Salt is also used to control certain parasites too so adding some to your pond will not hurt. .25-.50% sounds about right for Koi pond but never go over it if you are goign to keep plants-this will...

Building a pond is serious commitment but if you are willing to put out the labor and the $$$ the reward is awesome. First, look at your budget--try to build the biggest pond you can since you will be keeping fish (koi especially). Alot of people build pond and then very soon decide to build a...

Hi, whats your location and are you willing to ship if the proximity factor is an obstacle? I have recently set up a pond and looking to get some Kois, how much are you charging for them?
