Has anyone here built their own pond? Do you know if I should put anything in as a base? Gravel, sand, nothing?
My first pond I put up last year was only about 40-50 gals. I put gravel in it. Now I am building a 1400gal pond (lucky koi) and wondering if I should still put gravel or something down as a base. Any plants will be in planters with substrate, plus there will be huge rocks and caverns for them to hide in away from predators ( if they get past my dogs). But a base?
