scott16 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 oh ok sorry um but back on topic is there a maximum depth tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimsum Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Go as deep as you want, but a minimum of 40cm. Have a decent fence to keep the turtles in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slevin12 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 res shouldnt drown if they have a spot where the can stand and get air , i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Just be careful of your local Council's bylaws - some require a full fencing for ponds more than a few inches deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarBoy Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Conch its the new law for swimming pools if it is more than 40cm deep with water you need a full fence around it so little kids can not fall in and drown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
