Half the fun of building a pond is the research... and I bet you can Google just as well as I can :smile:

I've never built one, but maybe someone who has could give you an overview to get you started. You can also check out the stickied Pond Links.

I'll build you a pond like that for under $5000 no problem. I'll have it ready tomorrow.:wink:
If you plan to do it yourself and are looking to minimalize mental exertion, I believe Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=pond&langId=-15&Ntk=level1&catalogId=10051&Nty=1&cm_cat=Search&s_kwcid=home%20depot.%7C793281257&No=0&gclid=CLvZjZzDhpICFRI0awodgmBtCw&cm_ven=hdca_goog&Ntt=pond&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&storeId=10051&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&cm_pla=D-Brand&N=0&cm_ite=bid10329040-home_depot.&s=true) sells pond kits.

I had a 40gallon barrell pond for a few years befopre i got my in ground one. The barrell cost me about $25 at home depot, the pre-formed insert cost me about $60 at a local garden centre. I got my pump off of ebay for about 20 dollars, which i don't use anymore and i could probably send it to you if you go through with this pond thing.

Tubs are great, as long as you keep them well shaded and keep up with regular water changes like you would in a tank.

Feel free to PM me with any other questions. ::D:
