2 water pump 4 9 08 pond gold fishPumping out my pond so I can dig it deeper and bigger.When it is full it’s only 4 feet deep. I put goldfish (baitshop) in there to eat the bugs when they get in the water. I needed dirt to make my barn level when I built it and dug a hole.This is where I get all my fill dirt for the yard. The fish didn’t die over the winter. And it was only 2 feet deep.

What is the best way to fix a plastic preformed pond?

Posted by Pond Keeper

I was thinking silicone or melting plastic to repair the holes and cracks please let me know of any suggestions. Thanks!

Depending on whether the pond is a fairly simple shape, you might try covering it with a butyl liner and just considering the preformed plastic as a base for this. Butyl will last for many years if you get good quality. Otherwise I’d go to a water garden store and ask for advice on sealants, but this might depend on how bad the damage was – it sounds from your description as if there’s quite a lot of problems. Maybe you need to remove the preformed plastic and start again. If you don’t get a good liner in place, you will undoubtedly get more problems in the near future and will disturb all your plants and wildlife when you have to fix it again.

2 Red Eared Slider Turtles Backyard Mini PondI made a little playground for my turtles. I have 5 Red-Eared Sliders and a Yellow-Bellied Slider in there. They love the land area as they spend all day up there basking. They only use the pond to eat and sleep icon biggrin Red Eared Slider Turtles Backyard Mini Pond . All of the rocks and stuffs that i used to build this are stuffs that i found in my backyard (we used to have a Koi pond). I only bought the water pump to make the waterfall-filter.
