HELLO! :D

[TBH]

Im new to the forum and I truly need your guys help! I will be so grateful! So Im trying to make a modern type pond but I was wondering would using these bricks for border be good? its gonna be a square pond with a fountain feature in the middle, 3 meters by two and im still not sure how deep where gonna make it. But heres the link to the bricks C: https://kent.ca/8-x-4-stackstone-coping-garden-wall-stone1021072 even though they are for walls I thought we could also use them for the pond what would you think? also any suggestions on how deep it should be i wont have fish but it gets over -20c here. And one last thing we were looking at lights cause we wanted lights for the pond. Why are they so expensive are there any pond lights on a budget?
And I know ponds are usually expensive the the lights? THATS crazy! Thanks!

Welcome!
Where about are you located?
Is this going to be an above ground pond or in ground?
Without fish you're probably looking at 2 or 3 feet deep.

2 feet should be fine then.
If you're looking for lights, there's a good online pond supplier in Ontario, www.petsandponds.com

I use several solar lights around my pond. They don't cost much and the sun provides the power. Check them out.

I understand nothing about watts and electricity so witch one would be brighter? it dosent matter if it can change colors i just want them to last long and be bright. Thanks all

Welcome to the forum TBH!
Only use Lumens to determine LED brightness. Lumens are the only way for the consumer to compare the LED brightness output of one to another. Wattage is not a good indication of an LED’s brightness. Also to consider is the color temperature in Kelvins (where it is on the spectrum) of the light. A lower number in the 2700K range will be yellower while something in the 5500k range will be closer to daylight. Given your choices above, I vote for ‘door number one’ simply because they provide the lumens, You could also ask each of the companies to provide the information. I did this when lighting our music room and it was time well spent to get exactly what we wanted. Good luck!

Thanks everyone the best lights are probably the aqua scapes one because they are the brightest i find in lumens. Also one last thing i just need to make sure would those bricks be good for the pond in the link? (Just need to make sure so i know what to buy lol)
