Amy, How about if you remove the pond then get the water
out of the hole? Sounds like ground water is floating your
pond out of the hole.
According to Helen Nash's book "The Complete Pond
Builder" the Chapter on Drainage says to put down several
inches of crushed stone then sand should help. Also she
talks about digging a trench (this is what I did to my pond)
about a foot from the pond and putting down 4 inch drainage pipe... cover
with rock and then sod. I do rcommend buying Helen's
book ... what a find it is!

I created a raised garden in my yard and put a small 80 gallon
preformed pond in it. I packed topsoil all around it as I filled it
with water. This all worked great until I turned the drip system in
the garden on. The pond just floated up out of the hole!! Are there
any suggestions as to how to correct this? Can I put the pond in with
concrete around it? Please help!!
Thanks,
Amy

That's about what i have. I can't imagine it floating with water in
it! I would freak. This may give me a nightmare tonight.
