I spent about $250 on my pond from start to finish.
This is what I bought
Pond Kit (200 gal) $80
Wood and Nail for Cover $75 to keep dogs out and turtle in
Bark chunks for bedding around the pond $12
Water Fall $15
Rocks for water fall and exit ramp $15
1 ft square pavers $30
To provide shade I managed to recycle a trampoline bottom and stapled it to the top of my enclosure
I know I missed a few things. But this is a rough over view of my expenses and in the long run I ended up with a nice 200 gal pond which suits my RES quite comfortable. I have even added a two koi, two blue channel cats and a crawfish.
While my pond is by far not one of the most expensive on this site, it is amazing and just a wonderful thing to have in my back yard.
2 Male Red Eared (Goliath and Scramble the death dealer)
3 Female Red Eared (Hank, Big Mama, and Jesus)
1 Reeves, (Jeeves) too young to tell
A few betas, atleast for now
3 Koi
3 Dogs ( Precious, Killer and Jake)
