Leaking Concrete Pond

[MVeerkamp]

Can anyone recommend a sealer that will cope with small cracks in a concrete
pond (built in 1969) Its a 20' X 15' freeform pond with Koi. Thanks! I'm
loosing water like crazy.

I would have thought if it was a specific crack that could be scraped
out and cleaned up, the silicone gel used for joining glass to make
aquariums would be a safe bet, it should be fairly easy to find a
small tube for a specific small area

A patching cement holds better than silicone. Moisture gets into cement and
can sometimes loosen the silicone.

on 2-20 the pond water temp was 50oF and all of the koi came streaming to the corner
I lift smacking their lips wanting food so I fed them a very small amount. on 2-22
the temp was 52oF. the hardy water lilies never died and are looking pretty good.
the koi's last feeding was on 1-16 so they were "down" for a little more than a
month. this is compared to last year where the last feeding was around Oct 8th and
the first feeding was around April 15.
I think the 500 watt heater is definitely worth it.
