Cost was a little painful, I'm afraid. If I did it again I might do it differently, have to wait and see how this wears...
Stock tank-- 330.00
Speedliner -- 500.00 Gasp!!! I think if I did it again I'd try the rattle can or brush version instead of having it applied, but the husband talked me in to having it done professionally--probably didn't want to listen to me cry when I messed it up
Pump, filter, fountain, a zillion fittings and electrical stuff (had to run power and a GFI out from the house, which was a pain!) -- roughly 400.00
Plants-- roughly 100.00, but I keep dragging things home from the pond store, so that will probably change.
Probably another few bucks in rocks, plant pots, Prime, that kind of stuff. And I still have fishies to buy...I gave myself a 1500.00 budget, and I am down to pennies and lint, but my birthday is coming....(hope, hope)
Filled to the top, it is 8' round, 2' deep and holds roughly 700 gallons. I figure with displacement from rock and plants, and leaving it down 3-4", it holds around 600 gallons. I haven't figured the new gallonage, so that is a barely-educated guess!
So, that'd be...1330.00 + 100.00 misc = 1430.00
Ouch! To quote Schultz from 'Hogan's Heroes' "I see nothing! Nothing!!"
