I salvaged this old water tank and turned it into a wildlife pond. I'm in new territory here, do you guys have any tips?

    I don’t necessarily know how but something to disrupt mosquitoes from using it as a spawning pool and just laying a shitload of eggs in there would be a good idea

      Some type of live-bearers would handle that well. Guppies, mosquito fish etc
