Had some questions for you guys. I have a cistern that I'm thinking may make a perfect pond. It's 10x8x8, and in a pretty good location. I'm in ohio and I've already familarized myself with the local regulations on having a body of water that deep in the yard. I'm just wondering if any of you have done a similar project. I did notice a couple cracks in the concrete, and I plan on using hydraulic cement once I drain the cistern and block off the gutter pipes that feed it. I would also like to coat the concrete with a sealer paint. Do you guys think this sounds like it would make a decent pond? I currently have about a 600 gallon pond which my koi have outgrown.
