so i've wanted a pond for a very long time and here is my first attempt. a 300 gallon horse water trough with a filter/pump and some plants. its been running for a few days and i added some big gold fish yesterday and today went down to the local retention pond in our neighborhood and scooped up some minnows. i found a place that has small turtles, which i hear will eat everything in site, so that will probably be the next addition. some day i hope to have an in ground koi pond but this is a start. and its easy. you could do it on a much smaller scale on a deck and just grow plants. there are all types of "marginals" that have to be submerged just below the water line that have amazing blooms.

This is the coolest thing ever..
I think I might try it out myself.
This looks like a beautiful start to a pond! Keep it up, but be careful that those turtles don't eat your fish!
