This is a old photo when a hail storm hit.Hi. I have a home made natural rock/cement pond. I have a very slow leak. Can I use sodium nitrate with water & fish in pond without draining. Thought I'd buy a 25 pound bag and add to pond. Will it seal the pond that way?
No, its a leak. I've had the pond for 30 years and know. lol I'm in the San Bernardino mountains in S. California. 6000' elevation.Hello and welcome! Your pond is very nice — even with the hail stones! Where do you live?
I don’t have a clue about fixing a leak, but just to make sure....what makes you think it’s a leak? Sometimes water levels can go down due to evaporation, or even water wicking out from a plant being in just the right spot.
Good idea! Don’t let it be in full sunlight, though.Kids plastic wading pools are cheap and make for a nice holding place for the fish. Try to save as much of the old pond water as you can.
Why?Good idea! Don’t let it be in full sunlight, though.
Cute pond and surrounding natural nature setting, but was wondering why you didn't do it bigger? Not enough space?Hi. I have a home made natural rock/cement pond. I have a very slow leak.

Maybe not in full sunlight cuz a small plastic pool can heat up fast and kill the fish?
