Is this safe to use on a pond containing fish? Do you think it would work on a pond that is leaking?

Good question which I don't really know the answer to. I would think it would say something to that effect on the product web site. Personally I wouldn't. I'm assuming you have a koi or goldfish type pond. Fish are extremly delicate to PH and chemical changes and unless the product stated it was specific to repairing those type of uses, I would shy away from it. That stuff is pretty expensive too. I would suggest getting rubber liner specific for ponds and just reline the existing pond. This is what I did w/ my koi pond leak.

I don't have a personal experience using it under water and for a fish pond. According to the Thermabond web site it will probably work as long as you clean off the algie really well. They don't guarantee it, though. I suggest you read the instructions on their website about cleaning the surface and squeezing the water out from between the tape and the surface. In the reviews on Amazon for Thermabond kgraham used it for a koy pond with success. Didn't say anything about the long term effects on the koy.

This is meant to seal and keep water out from RV roofs / but if you put it on inside the pond perhaps the pressure of the water against it would help seal. However, you would have to drain the pond and make sure the area was completely dry before applying. Don't think there is anything in it that would hurt your fish.

I do not believe it would work. If it's dry for application there is a liquid Rubber you can buy online that goes on like bubble gum and dries flat. After it is dry, I would not think it would deteriorate and affect the fish, however do your research.kind regards, Jim

Best to contact the company. it will seal the leak but not sure if its safe for the fish

I do not know if it is safe to use on a fish pond, but I think it would work to seal the leak.

Not sure. I know that this works well to join metal to a rubber RV roof. I have had a pond, and it were me I would stick with something made specifically for the pond liner.

I expect it would suck up small fish, doubt they would survive. I remove my fish to a holding tub while cleaning the pond.

I hope you added it. Although it's good to pump it around I think it will be good for the pond. I also shut my pump down for the winter I run an aireator through the winter to keep hole in ice for gas release. I'm sure that moves the water around also. Good luck.

It is my understanding that the barley bale is completely harmless to fish. It just naturally absorbs the algae. We used it with mixed results. I think we needed to get 2 of them since 1 didn't seem sufficient. People with ponds swear by barley.

I don't know about that I only use it in my pond. You might try contacting the manufacturer.

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it? I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

According to the instructions it is not intended for outdoor use. We purchased it to use in an outdoor pond, and wrapped the controls in a plastic bag to protect from moisture.

we used it last year, and we swam in it with our grandchildren and there was no problem. All of our fish are doing well too, even through the hard winter we had here in Ohio. The product cleaned up our pond really well, with no side effects on us, the fish or the plant life we have planted around our pond.

This works beautifully with crystals and beads and I've heard it did a great job on my nephew's fish tank. He said it didn't leak and he had 40 fish and didn't lose one. I hope this helped.

So sorry, I can not help you on this. I would call a local nursery and ask them or contact the manufacturer. The water from my urns using this product is for watering plants - don't know how safe it would be for fish and don't think I would use it until you find out if it is safe for them. Wish I could be more helpful.

We are using it in a pond. Our pond is approx. 300 gallons and it works well. I do not think it is for fish tanks. It is for outdoor ponds

Not exactly. I use it as a pond for my fish and have to do weekly water changes. I will tell you that it certainly leaks, not a ton but enough that there is water outside everyday. I caulked around it though that still doesn't help much. I am going to need to find a solution before it gets too bad.

Ours is used in a five foot diameter sugar kettle we use as a fish pond. It is on a timer and only runs a few hours a day. It provides great filtration for our needs. The water stays clear and the fish, goldfish and koi, are healthy.

I use this on a pond, forcing more flow through it with a submersable pump on the intake end. Turtles are quite messy. Depending on the size of the turtle, even one of these will need regular cleanings. I use mine for an Alligator. It works great.

We use ours for our pond but I should think it would work in any water. It is quite handy.

I don't see why not; however, it may take some time as you say your pond is large and I merely used it to transfer fuel from a riding mower to a can. I would recommend perhaps beginning with a wet/dry vac then as you near the bottom, then use this item.
