Baytown couple turns drainage problem into goldfish pond
Suzanne and Paul Hemphill transformed a drainage issue in Baytown into a backyard goldfish pond. They installed an 8-foot galvanized stock tank as the pond, dug a deeper hole with a slight drainage slope, and painted the tank with fish-safe black coatings. A waterfall, rock ledge, and weeping willow enhance the area while a 4-hp underwater pump circulates water. They maintain the pond with periodic repainting, algae control, and chemical adjustments from local fish stores.
