    This guy's dad left him in excellent shape. I want to see segment 9 & 10. This 5 acre lake cost him a fortune. He has built a dream 80 acres that his neighbors
    will really appreciate and enjoy.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    I'm in the process of redesigning my pond for next summer. I now have a 2700 gallon pond that is 4 feet in the ground and 2 feet above ground, measuring around 7 x 8. This is a traditional style that looks out into our patio. It has served me well, but as much as I enjoy raising koi, I've discovered that I really enjoy making ponds. So I'd like to go a little larger, approximately 4500 gallons, and make some upgrades. A few criteria- I want it to winter well- my existing pond in Minnesota has kept around 49-50 degrees this winter with absolutely no heat source (a 100 watt aquarium heater) but is extremely well insulated. I want the pond to use as little electricity as possible, especially during the six-month off season. I am a little unconventional, and I enjoy air lifts and submersibles. A pond liner is required to prevent water from leaking into the ground in a pond. Visit 5 Best Pond Liners Reviewed in Detail (Spring 2022) to learn more. Even though a pond may theoretically contain water without a line, a pond liner serves additional purposes, such as keeping the water clean and the general pond ecosystem healthy for plants and fish.
