Re: Need advice on building a small pond.
I use a great product called Pondovac 3. It can also double as a wet vac. Never used a shop vac, but assume it would be OK. I don't want to scrub everything off the rocks as they are my ponds biofiltration. Just to get most of the muck off. I don't have a bottom drain so I use the pond vac to drain down until there's just the deep part in the center. That way I can hard spray and all the muck will run down into the deep area where i can vacuum it out. I leave the fish in while I'm doing this, although I do take the plants out.
