are you a member of ZNA NorCal yet?

we can hook up on next meeting and review your design. just come up with something and go from there. unless you want to enter your fish for competition, else keep it at manageable pond size. big pond require more maintenances and more work for sure and more money for equipment.
if you want some suggestions, send me a PM with your phone.

I disagree with building a smaller managable size. I did that....and now I want bigger. My big pond now is 9000 gallons, and I am building a new one that will be closer to 20,000 gallons. I think it's best to decide what you want first. Do you think you'll every want to get into showing?? If so.....build a pond that can grow 'em big.

I have pop a question because i have too many idea about pond sizes, it will be liner and outside will block cement. Problem is some one told me at deep at i can 7,8 ' will better more pressure more water moving. But someones told me 5' will be good just make it longer. Contruction team will finish dig a hole this week (if no rain) if i have idea i can change my mind before they go ( i don't want do it myself) i have a box 7'L 4'W 2'H will around 500gl for bio filter Jap mat, 1 bead filter 3,5cin 1 votex 155gl do i need more for filter?
