Anyone ever build a saltwater pond?
 

What is the "salt water" pond built on/in? Does it have surrounding land
that it is going to harm by overflow? If Captain Burke has this pond
surrounded by cement and the sal****er gets drained into the ocean when it
overflows, then it isn't a problem but if I bought a house only to find out
that my "yard" had been destroyed by salt I would be really ticked off.

Captain Burke has exterior sal****er ponds, exposed to all the elements.
The
ponds are full of sharks, jack, grunts, snapper and the like.

This strikes me as a really NOT good idea.... For one thing you will
destroy
your surrounding soil if water overflows from your pond or is in some
other
fashion taken from pond to land. Even the water that I had mildly
salted
for sick fish years ago did damage to my nearby plants when one time the
raccoons pulled out the hose to the pump, dumping about 1/3 of the pond
out
onto the ground. It would also not be good for wildlife that are now
becoming dependent on us ponders in urban areas. DK

I have a 20X12X4ft pond partially completed (its only about 3 foot
deep
right now), and am toying with the idea of making it into a sal****er
pond.
I live in Louisville Kentucky, so the temp. fluctuates greatly
(0-100).
Are
there any sal****er fish that could survive such fluctuations? Would
a
small greenhouse stabilize temp. much?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
