Alright I cant find anything on google so I'm going to ask yall does anybody know how much it would cost to build a 90-135 gallon pond in my yard. I would like to use the preformed pond liners and I would also like to put a few perch into this pond so does anybody know how much it would be to do all of this?

I have 2 garden ponds, one 90 gals and the other 180gals, both preformed. I did all the rock work and laying and had no clue what I was doing but it turned out well. Here is my price list:
180gal preform : $85 (on sale)
90gal preform $60 (on sale)
Pump : $48 (on sale)
Sand : cheap at a material yard, you'll need about 1 yard
Rocks for landscaping : free
Fish : free
I got all the stuff I paid for at Lowes during the off season. I have a bass and 2 sunfish in the big one and 3 sunfish and a TX cichlid in the small one and a ton of Gambusia in both to control mosquitos and as food.

I put a 1200 gallon pond in my old homes backyard. If you PM me I can give you some details. I don't think I can post pics yet but I have some I can email you. I'm not an expert but I enjoyed doing the project and did quite a bit of research before I started.

Here is a link to the garden I installed a few years back. I've since moved out of that house but down the road, I may build another one. It would be cool to stock it with bass instead of goldfish though.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2069507&id=1276265273&l=5fd83d610d

It really is not a difficult project, especially for a small one. You need a hole in the ground (irregular shapes are kind of more eye appealing), a liner to seal it against leaks, a filtration/aeration system(waterfalls are great for this), and then whatever rock or borders you want to use.
Not difficult at all and makes a nice place to sit and watch the fish. Go for it!!
