I'm not a Pro pond builder so keep that in mind. I just have problems with the idea of trying to seal the sandy sides of a water hole. 5 acres gives a lot of room for mistakes and sand is the stuff of aquifers. Maybe the dozer driver knows the area and figures he can do it.
I've had several small stock tanks cleaned out on my land. On 3 of them they have hit sand. I have yet to be able to seal the bottoms with either bentonite or clay. Others have been more successful but I figure I am in real trouble when I hit either a sand or rock strata.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
