Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Fixing the previous owner's damage

LOL.

I'd just keep the pond dry for a year or two until funds are available to fix it. In my opinion, no sense in a temporary fix now, and put $$ towards fish and habitat only to have to drain it, kill the fish and fix the pipe properly in 1-2 years. The faster the pipe is fixed, the quicker you can have the pond that you want and any monthly $$ that was budgeted to go for fish/habitat/feed could be put toward the repair to get the repair fund built up quicker.
