what is the easiest way to make a pond again a SMALL pond? could i dig a nice sized hole in the ground, add a sheet of husky plastic sheeting to it ,and then add water and acceceries is there something i need to add this is just the building of the pond no pump yet or fountain

Ok here is what happened. I bought my mom a bird bath that has 2 figurines in the center and it looks as though they are holding an umbrella. Well it has a hose inside the figurines so the water is pumped up and on the top of the umbrella to make it look like they are in the rain. It doesn’t say on the box any thing about all this, just shows a picture of the bird bath complete with the figurines and umbrella. When I went to put it all together, there was no pump to be found. I called the store about it and even took it back to them to show them the paper that came with it. They said that no pump was suppose to come with it. But this is what the paper says:(a)The pump is installed inside the fountain cover. (b)Pull out the adaptor and electrical cord from the fountain cover.
Now wouldn’t this mean that it should be there with the bird bath, as well as the rest of the stuff?

One of the goldfish in my pond is constantly trying to swim around with its head above the water and never seems to stop. All of the other goldfish in the pond aren’t doing it and all seem to be acting normally.
The pond has a pump, fountain and a filter and the sponges are regularly cleaned when the get to dirty.
Whats wrong with my fish?

I’ve always wanted a floor fountain, but just can’t see paying up (or over) $2,000 for one, so I decided to go at it myself. There are a few questions I have. The one I’m going to build is going to go into an open basin of water where there will also be a water mister to give a neat effect.
For the back (the part the water runs down), I’m looking at a piece of black plexiglass about 6.5-7ft tall, 3.5-4ft wide. I’m going to pour cement into the bottom of the water basin and place the plexiglass inside of it and let it dry, any other idea for that?
My main question is after I hook up the pump what do I plumb the other end of the pipe to? What do they use to let the water trickle down? And also what would the best way to hide it at the top?
Thanks!

I recently bought a little fountain to put in my flower bed and my neighbor’s pet ducks will not stay out of it! They filth it up, and clog the pump with the filth they get in the water. I’ve been researching online to see what I can do, and the best thing I’ve found is a liquid fence repellent. I’m leary of spending $80 bucks on something I don’t know will work. I tried putting hot sauce in the water, thinking they may not like it, but they don’t seem to care. They’re also nipping my flower buds and blooms off. I’ve asked my neighbors to try to keep them in their yard, but they either can’t, or don’t care. Short of having duck for dinner, I’m not sure what else to do. Also, I’m fearful that the duck repellent will scare the birds away from my feeders. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I don’t want to do anything to hurt them since they are some what “pets”, but they need to stay out of my fountain and flower beds!

I just bought a place that has an old man made pond. It was owned by an old lady that was in a wheel chair for years so the yard was in real disrepair. I have cleared away the brush and have dug down a bit on the pond. It has white sand below the layer of dirt on top and has a small plastic pipe embeded in the head ( larger grouping of rocks that form a wall ) and nothing is attached to the pipe. Is this where a pump would go to run the water from the pond over the rocks? why is there sand in it? wont that clog the pump? do ponds have running water or can I just fill it every once in a while? What is the best way to figure out how the pond was operated? This pond is about 5 feet across and looks to be about 4 feet deep and slopes down towards the bottom.

our fountains water is all green would bleach make the water white or just wreak the pumping sistem could you please help
