Thread: Pond shape.

  1. #1

    Pond shape.

    Hi/just wanted peoples views on pond shapes please. Would it be worth loosing a bit of space of the pond by loosing the 4 corners of the rectangle and turning it into a pill shape? To aid the water flow. Thank you

    Does make a difference if you round the corner even slightly as my 500 gallon QT tank has very slightly rounded off corners both vertically and horizontally plus the bottom is benched which allows more muck to be drawn down the bottom drain. So your proposed pill shape design will in theory work well specially if you bench the bottom a decent amount
