Looking For A Large Pre Made Pond...

[big mick]

I want a large pond for the garden and have seen the large rectangular ponds alot of the garden centres use to keep their fish for sale but nobody seems to be able to tell me where they come from.

It will not be burried into the ground, I want it sitting on top of the ground and plan to wood panel round the sides but the closest I can find to what I want is a household water tank but I want it bigger then that.

Ive tried asking the shop fitters but cant seem to get anywhere...any suggestions anyone?

Cheers

Many people use farm water troughs used for feeding and watering farm animals. You can sometimes find them used at farm auction sites. Here is a link to a new one for example purposes. They come in other sizes too. http/www.rubbermaidproducts.com/Merchant...%99+Stock+Tanks

Those Rubbermaid tubs are nearly indestructable. The only way to screw them up is to leave water in them over the winter, they'll freeze then crack. Many breeders will put those outside or in the garage during the summer. I've got a 100 gallon with a crack that I picked up for free, A little fiberglass from the body & fender shop will make that an outdoor platy breeding tank this summer.

I also picked up some used 150 gallons, managed to shoehorn a couple into my fishroom. The nice thing about these is that when they aren't being used they nest inside each other, just like paper cups. Three of them nested together take up 8" more room than just one. Pick up a few of them & have a fun summer.
