How to make a half barrell pond

[PondFond]

do you know what the are made out of

[PondFond]

i saw some that were made out of a type of plaster

The Durabarrels are made of recycled plastic, and have 2 real steel straps around them. They look very realistic, and seem indesructible to me. The initial cost might be more than a wood barrel and liner, but the wood ones will rot, the durrabarrels don't. In the long run it makes more $$ sense to me. I bought mine at the BORG*, for around $40.

The whiskey smell: The first time I saw real whiskey barrels in a hardware store, I thought the guy who was helping me find something was drunk! Took me a minute or two to realize the smell was coming from the barrels right behind him!

*Big Orange Retail Giant, otherwise known as Home Depot!

sorry about that i meant i love the avatar

Thanks Jason, me and Dudley (my basset hound) appreciate the compliment!

I see in your sig you have a couple Koi, you do know they need a Lot of room to grow up properly, right? For their sake, if they start to outgrow your tank and barrel, trade them in at your [acronym:8e54994764="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:8e54994764], ok?

Not giving you a hard time, but if you wanna change your own posts, there's a button in the upper right, says "edit".

You can call me corvus if you like, (many folks here do) I know the whole corvuscorax is a pain to type!

Great, glad to hear it! I just don't really know your level of fish/pond/aquarium knowledge yet, so please forgive me if I say stuff you already know.

Hi, there. I'm new this this forum. Our half barrel pond is doing so well, our little comets are bredding! We did a search on the internet to read about what to do, in order to continue caring for our pond without disrupting the breeding process. Thought you might enjoy a photo.
