My meditation pond build

The bare bones





55 gal Fish tank will be moved over by 3 feet. Mirror being moved.

nice setup
i like it in the house

Id like to have something like that

Nice work FV....you could also surround it with landscapetimbers and fill it in with spray foam or other foam to help it stabalize..or pea gravel..I know sand would get everywhere

spay foam, gravel and sand i used more for outdoor above ground pond for insulation. Being inside I really don't need heavy insulation, Gravel and sand would make it way to heavy for the floor. I did add 4x4 under the house to help support it.

looking nice! Are you going to do something to hide the outside of the liner when it is done? Potted plants or something would be nice around a pond.

I'm going to eventually do a paper mache rock form from old sheets with spots for plants and a statue above the fountain.

sounds great!

It has crossed my mind to do this also, very nice.

I am loving it! A potted tree or 2 behind it would really add to it! Real or fake!

Looking on CL for large tree type fake plants. Anyone in Va have any fake plants they want to donate they will find a loving home.

The cats and the dog have quit using their water bowls and my open top tanks as drinking holes they love the pond! HHMM wait till I put the piranhas in there!

Any ideas for fish yet?

either koi (said to bring good luck) or it will be an angel grow out tank.

crazy

YOU HAVE AN OUTDOOR POND IN YOUR HOUSE! I like it! What are the plans for the skirting (around the edges)? Plants?

It's going to awesome!!

Around here it wouldn't be just the dog, it would be the birds taking baths also, then of course can only imagine what the youngest would do yesterday as the killis moved to a tote as temporary housing he decided that I was kind enough to put a swimming pool on the coffee table for his power rangers!!

Not sure of the outside yet but has to be something that won't protrude into the room further. So I'm thinking more like a bamboo fencing or something that has wooden effect. Lighting I'm thinking of 4 pendent lights 3 near the back and one near the front with 100W CFB in them. that will de a DIY project.

A few layers of that camo netting could be cool....

Surround with House plants might be an option?

Remember you can use a staple gun on that outer lip without an issue!

Any clue on the gallon's?

250 gals didn't know about the staple gun.HHHMMMM I can get in trouble.

Ya just stay to the bottom edge of that lip and you will be good, better than any other method of attachment.

I say use it as an angel grow out till you figure out exactly what you want to do with it. They will grow fast in there!

yes and it will free up some tank for other type of fish or more breeding pairs. MTS I love it. (I THINK! )

Ya then toss the angels in there till you find that one fish you cant live without that would go perfect in there
