    Outdoor pond Texas

    Because I hate unsolved problems, I have been thinking about this all day....

    Outdoor pond Texas

    Hi everyone! So I am a total goldfish/koi nut, and recently decided to start building a large pond of 1,500 gallons in my garden to house goldfish and a couple of koi. I am in Dallas, Texas. I then started wondering about adapting the pond (it is in an area that's going to be easy to enclose...
