small stones under the liner

[gzbass]

Hello, Im new to this forum and this is my first post,

We just installed a larger pond yesterday. While carrying the extremely heavy 30 x 25 ft liner we must have knocked in a few small pebbles.
During filling the pond, I noticed the bumps and I'm nervous that this will cause an issue. We did use the underlayment and its a 45mil liner.
I have tried to get whatever stones out but of coarse the ones in the middle remain. I can feel them with my finger and they don't seem to be sharp, they are all just very small round pebbles. Is this an issue? Will I wake up one morning and find that the rocks have punched through the liner? Has anyone every experienced this?

Thanks in advance
Gary

If they are roughly pebble size and rounded, you should be fine.

If you get in the pond though I would avoid stepping on them .45 mil liner is pretty thick .

Prolly would be ok but if it was me I'd take them out but that's just over picky me
