Hey all

I've been working on another project recently and I got hold of a half ibc which I though was perfect, all I wanted was a stand alone pond for a few tadpoles and a couple of small goldfish, I've gone the extra step of having a few plants and a lily as well

Welding the bracing into the Ibc cage nice and solid


The filled pond with some rocks sand and water


Then finally my lily and goldfish


It's going nice and my tadpoles have started to grow there tiny little back legs

Nice one. Maybe you should do some DIY on your lawn mate hehe

I dont like the way the hose is setup.
What happens if someone or something knocks the rock off that is holding the hose in place.
The hose will land outside the tank and it will get pumped dry, killing everything...

Your lawn looks heaps better than mine!

Hahaha aha I still can't mow the lawn yet damn stitches, had em out today so 3 days then it's all on at my house!! Full project mode!

The hose is cable tied in werdna with UV resistant 54kg rated cable ties (riggers get good cable ties) and the rock on top is purely for aesthetics I've only been running the pump every now and then because it's going to be part of a bigger system. This will end up being the planted filter/sump for my larger ponds and also connected into the grow beds for the aquaculture system

I'll add more pics later this is just the beginning

thats a sweet set up, what tadpoles/frogs you got?

[Riggers]

To be honest cozza I don't know, they came from the waldecks in my suburb so after explaining the tadpole relocation program to them they were happy to let me have some I'm assuming motorbike frogs? What do you reckon? I'd say there from the loca regional park that backs onto waldecks?
