Concrete vs. Liner for koi ponds
Hi Folks,
Been doing a lot of reading lately on the concrete vs. 45-mil liner issue when setting up a fish pond. I'd like to ask the question in a slightly different way: Assume that money is no object (for the moment, at least; I'm sure I'll come to my senses soon...) Also, assume that I don't have to set it up myself (I have a competent fish pond installer who can go either route, and is at this very moment sitting around waiting for me to make up my mind on which direction to go). Given those two criteria, I'd like to know, which pond bottom is best in the long run? Since ease of installation is not a concern, I'd like to hear from people who have had to live with one or the other for some time. Is maintenance easier on one or the other? Is one "prettier" than the other (highly subjective, I know). Does algae grow on concrete and not come off? I should mention that I live near San Jose, CA; earthquakes can happen, although I'm not sure how big a deal this is. I don't get the extreme temperatures, though (freezing nights are relatively rare, though it can get up to 100 F on occasion). There are no tree roots anywhere nearby that I have to worry about. So, thoughts? Thanks in advance for any input. I've been tearing my hair out over this crazy issue. Thanks! Michael |
