Hmm.... well, i have one natural and another with a liner, the liner works
terrible because of the area its in. i would like something sturdy,
something i wont need to worry about to much, how about those think hard
plastic ones that are already built?? how much $$ would i be looking at?
Whats the best, cheapest thing for me to do build a large pond (hole is
alread there!)
thx
john

John,

I have one now, and another pond with liner! My vote is for the liner
without cement. For many reasons I will explain later, biggest one is
trying to get string algae off, and the nasty bruise your Koi get if they
ever get ick, fluke or any parasite that causes them to flash. The
bruises
exposes them to different infection, on and on.

The at the beginning trying to get the water to not be so alkanic(sp?).
Plus the unnecessary cost of concrete since you will still need some kind
of
liner under the concrete should in case the concrete cracks!

Later Dude
