Hey everyone

Hey I'm new to the forum I've watched Corey and the gang since I started up my aquarium obsession back up and I've finally made it to my first indoor pond it's a mini pool 120 gallon pond and I was wondering if y'all could help me decide what to scape it with substrate that will work for plants and which plants would be best I have actually never done a planted tank but I'm finally going to I'm so excited but wanted to do it correctly also are there snails or fish I can put with my goldfish in my pond I do have a heater however the water temperature will drop to about 55-60 overnight in my area

Welcome to the forum! I know goldfish like sand so they can sift through it.  You might want to check out the easy planters so you can add some plants.

Thanks how much sand do you recommend just cover or do I need like 2to 4 inches

[Levi_Aquatics]

I’d go with 2-4 so the goldfish have plenty of substrate to sift through.

Welcome to the forum, indoor pond is something I’ve been considering. @Levi_Aquatics made a couple of really good suggestions thick bed of sand and get some easy planters. I’d suggest getting some big rooted plants so they can really get a good hold as they grow.(swords or vallisneria)

and I’m not sure how goldfish do with floating plants but maybe that’s an option as well?

good luck mate

Welcome to the forum Vallisneria and elodea are good plants  and floating plants like water lettuce or duckweed as long as you let them get established before adding fish you could use co-op easy planters to protect the plants while the establishe
