Expectorating_Aubergine Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Anybody have ponds with soil at the bottom? Most of my aquariums have been dirted, and the results have been very positive. Now I'm wondering if I can get similar results from doing this in a pond. The size will be 300 gallons (Its a big Rubbermaid stock tank). I'm considering if burying is something I want to do. I know it would make Temps more stable, but I also know what a pain it is to move a buried container. Anyone ever try a dirted pond? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I did this in my Vermont journal, but I would do gravel instead of sand for my cap if I tried again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefConfit Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 My deck pond is/was a mix of soil crushed coral and safetsorb capped with more safetsorb. Up until this week when I started having problems with an animal getting into it I was getting pretty amazing growth out of all my plants. It had a mix of crypts, stems and floaters that came from my indoor tanks in addition to a miniature pond lily and sweet flag. I liked the soil mixture so much I used it in my new display tank as well. My previous tanks were soil capped with sand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
