Check it out!!!!! (almost finished in-ground catfish pond)

Cool pond. What are the dimensions? Any construction pictures? How many catfish do you plan on raising, and with what kind of filtration?

pond is 10ft by 20ft, about 3.5ft deep. expensive and tedious as well! grow bed is 6ft by 3 ft, 13inches deep. I have a 5000 gallon pump running thru ugly ass orange PEX tubing with a reducer on it to slow down the flow from that overly powerful beast of a pump, to the CF GB. will switch to black HDPE pipe if i can find it, or spend some dough on inert silicone food grade tubing (ideal). I will have some more pics tomorrow. Will be DONE finally. need to plant some ground cover to hide the liner tomorrow, and fill the grow bed with more lava rock (filthy nasty stuff. red dust is everywhere)

Hi. I once had a brick and liner pool. When the liner was fitted, they just lay it over the hole and let the sun warm it up. Then it was SLOWLY filled in stages smoothing out the liner as they went. Takes a bit of effort tho.

You paid for the liner, fill up as much as you can.
