Bad idea IMHO, The dumbell will leach all sorts of unwanteds into the water
column.

will putting an iron dumbell (weight that goes on bar) in pond be toxic
to
fish? I have to weight down the pump hose that feeds the vege filter to
keep
the raccoon from pulling it out.

About all it will do is it might turn your water a bit reddish.


Might stain some concrete, especially whatever the dumbbell is placed on.
