Hi y'all,
I'm closing on another house in a week, super excited, and there is an existing concrete pond in the front.
It's circular, 9.5 feet and 16 inches deep. It has leaves and plants and cracks in it. there is one little tree(cut) growing on the edge of the pond, I don't know I'll take it out too.
What I heard is that once I clean it all up I could seal the concrete with the concrete and then seal it with boat sealant (cheaper than pond /swimming pool sealant) is this the right way to go?
There is no sign of filtration so I'm thinking a large tub on one side, make it my plants bog then water fall back to the pond, then have some type of vertical /stacking type filter on one side. But still couldn't figure how to make this set up look match up to the pond. The pond is fully shade.
Any suggestion?
The house is nasty so it's going to take us about 6 months to renovate it so won't be moving in until next year. I'll probably leave my fish in the pond until spring to move them to the new pond... Is that a good or bad idea?
Here what the pond looks like
