I want to build a 5000 gallon pond using cement, but I am kind of having trouble finding resources on how to do this.I would like to know how to install an externail pump, and how do I do the drain???How do I put the plumbing in? Would this be buildt pretty similar to a pool?What has to be done to the cement to make it safe for fish?Would making it out of cement be cheaper than liner?There are no rocks in FL, so we are going to have a company come out and quot;makequot; the rocks for us. They do a FABULOUS job sculpting rocks from rebar and cement. I would have to have a cement pool in order to have them do this, though. So that is why it needs to be out of cement.If you can find ANY resources for me on how to do any of this, Id be eternally greatful! Im so excited to get my pond going!!!!
Here's an idea. Dig a big, but not huge hole (or have it done.) Then pour in enough cement to fill it. Next, once it's dry, fill it with a lot of water and some fish.
If you live in FL you should google a place called Pebble Junction. They have a nice selection of rocks in all sizes...all the way up to boulders.
it doesn't sound like you've given this enough thought, if not done correctly the first time you can REALLY end up with a problem please go to pet shop or garden shop or library and get books on garden ponds, they will tell you everything you need to know it's too involved to go into on this forum
