Why does a pond need levels? Someone please let me know , I can't find it on Google.

[apauln]

@TheRyansteven it's ones preference... also if you want to put plants in that need different depth levels.

plants have a min. and max. growing depth under water...

[jobfromdayone]

thank you for posting the video. the pond looks great. how did the feeder fish make out?

[apauln]

@jobfromdayone had 1000's the first year. i have video's of them...

Screw all the haters, this is a very nice pond. Maybe its a little short of filtration but then again natural ponds only have plants and they seem to do alright.

@babeecherri it's "you are" or "you're" not "your"...idiot... and "you're" calling me stupid...

[Zahzah90]

Thats a nice pond.

[AllAlaskan907]

Thats not a pond, its a fucking swimming pool! Haha nice pond btw :D

[MrQStarr86]

Nice job. You've given me an idea for my first place

[LuckyBambooExpert]

Can you tell me the exact dimensions of your pond?

[feh2]

THIS IS NOT VIVA PINATA

[usmcjketner]

@tsangpot4 your comment is kinda of old but its bothering me. they will not survive without filtration. Nature does this by having a natural over flow while fresh water is being pumped in. the water is stagnant and will produce algae, which in turn decays and produces toxins that kill fish, ESPECIALLY in the winter time when ice covers the surface and the gases have no where to escape. no need to argue though, I am a professional that deals with ponds and water gardens daily

[SwampDonkey345]

why would u use rubber and not concrete.

[DIJV79]

Don't doe this in the south west U.S especially in the dry Mojave desert its a beacon for rattle snakes they will eat your fish and bite small children.
