Actually I did one on my deck a few years back. It really wasn't worth the work and effort...I use the stock tank now to hold my fish when I clean my inground pond...Are you talking about sinking it in the ground?

Stock Tank

Hi I winter my koi in two 6'x2' stock tanks they do very well with a pressure sand filter converted to kaldness rather than sand,also a Bio-reactor for the extra load of the fifty large koi that winter there. A good friend of mine opted for the stock tank,that which he dug into the ground an 8'x2' deep, it looks great with the skimmer with pump inside leading to a very nice little Bio-water fall. This tank holds his very nice large four koi. This is a very fast,easy and dependable not to mention affordable pond. With stone or brick around the perimeter will look very nice. Go for it ! All the best to you

I am researching it now. Am going to either do a hot tub shell or a trough. Good luck to us!

I have a 140gal stock tank integrated into my main pond and it works great.

I love how you have a couch right across from the pond to watch your fish

I only have a foldable camping chair
