Small Ponds - 200 -300gal
 

I would like to see some examples of small 200-300 gal ponds, has anyone
made any? I need some ideas, I see all these large ponds, I want to see
some examples of small ponds with water features.

Do you need photos, or just a description?
I put in a small - 200 gal at a guess - pond late
last year. It's circular in shape, has a sloping area
for critters to get into/out of the pond (I really
wanted it for frogs and toads rather than for
fish), is about 2' deep but that measurment includes
a raised lip formed by two layers of house bricks.
(The liner is folded up over the bricks so no
water can wash into the pond from the yard.)

I used flexible liner, 30 mil (IIRC) and got
some horrendous folds but don't really
care since you can't see them. I have one hardy
water lily, one yellow water fringe, a couple of small
grasses on a 6" wide x about 2' long ledge I formed at
one end of the pond for marginal plants.

I tossed in a bunch of rosey red minnows for
mosquito control (but I enjoy feeding them,
too), and 6 Japanese trapdoor snails
recently added.

No filters, I'm hoping to keep the pond healthy
through various additives, occasional partial
water changes. My husband stuck a couple
trellises on frames in the ground to provide
some shade from the horrendous afternoon sun
we get around here.

When my above ground 110 lb (stock tank)
goldfish pond froze over several times this
winter, the in-ground pond showed no ice, not
even at the shallow end. Our soil around here is
heavy clay and I assume it holds heat fairly well,
and also might keep the water from getting too
hot.

Hope that helps.

Lisa your pond looks very inviting......very peaceful...... just lovely. I
like the small round rocks around it. It gives it a very nice effect.

Our small pond was put in last fall. Is it too soon
to think about expanding it, maybe adding a
waterfall? :)

::sigh:: The evil thing about pictures is the
monitor gets all drooly.

Heck no! It's not too soon. Actually you are behind schedule! Most of us
start the planning and construction of our next phase while doing the
current phase.
So get cracking! get to work.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I
suspect a larger pond isn't in the cards right
now, but you never know. Meanwhile I'll
just keep reading, viewing (photos) and
::drooling::. :)
