looking to build a saltwater pond

[beginner reefer1]

i’m not sure what kind of container to buy, i’m not sure if a pond liner would be a good idea, i definitely don’t wanna do a out of ground pool, i’m looking for something to keep in my garage, but still atleast 300 gallons or larger. please let me know what options i should have to buy to keep my saltwater pond in. Thanks

This would likely be the easiest to set up and get running: https://amzn.to/3Xz7IF4

You might be able to find it elsewhere for cheaper but you’ll have to have a way to transport it, tractor supply sometimes stocks them. I used one of these to keep Koi in college, had a super chill landlord :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Otherwise, you could build a plywood pond, framed with 2x4 for stability, and then waterproof it with a liner or epoxy.

Good luck with the build, share pictures and details as you get going!

i appreciate this, this is going to be a 3-4 year project but i will keep posted on it!

I just bought a 300gal Rubbermaid from the local farm supply store for $300 and it's in my garage. Sand is in and it's filling now.
