Help me please new Koi Can't Post
Hi I have just built a concrete fish pond and I need to seal it. I would like to know what is the best lasting waterproof sealant to use. and how long do I have to leave to dry, when can I fill it with water, do I have to empty the new pond and refill it with a new water and how long before putting the fish in.... my fish pond size is 2 meter W 1.70 L and 1.40 D could you please let me know how much Epoxy. Can I have Koi in this size of pond... Please note its very cold in the UK specaily this time of the year powerskysat@yahoo.co.uk Thanks

Hello, first of all , concret will dry in a 24 hr period! There is a hydration process! To better answer your question we need to know what materials were used in the construction. But I would say the best is to fill the pond and let it sit for a few days, then drain it , and fill it agin! Do this at least 2 times, that way you will help remove some of the leached lime from the cement! Then fill it , and put a couple of fish or koi! They will help to START the pond! You will need a BIO FILTER!!!! As far as apoxy!!! I would use anything listed as PEOPLE SAFE!! that may mean KITCHEN apoxy or bathroom, not all apoxy is NON TOXIC!!!
