I used to build in ground vinyl liner swimming pools, back when we had no ponds or aquariums, and I had a customer who had a unique idea for makin' some extra coin off of her family farm.

She started by raising talapia in aquariums, then moved to an old concrete pool that they hadn't used in years. Eventually she tired of having to deal w/ the talapia's short growth cycle (had to harvest by winter) and moved on to hybrid striped bass.

Now days they have corporate picnics and family reunions on the farm and basically cater. The main menu item is of course...striped bass. She had me build three more 28'x54'x6' swimming pools for her and that's what she danced with. Filtered with double sand filters, biological sump, hi vol. UV and ran big time air. Now they harvest at the end of a two year cycle and she's toyin' w' puttin' in solar hydronics, insulation and a poly house cover to fatten 'em up quicker.

Sorry, don't know if this skip OT is like lauding Hitler on a Holocaust site but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

If you're as afflicted as I, skip the ponds, time to start diggin' pool holes. :eek:
 
thats cool, I joke about that all the time....throw a dozen or so tilapia into the pond in the spring, and have a fall fish fry :D
 
I'll see if I can find the re-print. There was an article way back in the late 70's (Mother Earth News or some low impact living mag) about using a bog and naturalized plantings to create a non-chemically cleaned swimming pool that you could build for about $2,000 (roughly in todays devalued U.S. script).

I remember the author writing about the strange sensation of all of the little blue gills nibbling at his toes as he floated about. Hey isn't that what the rich people are paying big bucks for now, fishy pedicures? Might pay for itself. Invite 'em all back later for a fish fry.
