General Disclaimer

The information and tools provided by PondPoise (“https://www.goldgage.com”) are for general educational and planning purposes only. Everything here is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, or completeness of any information or result on the site.

Any use of the information or tools is entirely at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure the results meet your specific pond’s requirements and to verify them before acting.

A Planning Aid, Not Veterinary or Medical Advice

PondPoise’s calculators — the pond volume calculator, the fish stocking density calculator, the filter turnover calculator, the feeding amount calculator, the water change calculator, and the pond liner size calculator — are designed to help you plan a pond and check your numbers. They do not constitute veterinary, medical, or professional aquaculture advice. If a fish in your pond appears sick, injured, or is behaving abnormally, do not rely on this Service — consult a qualified aquatic veterinarian.

Results Are Rounded Estimates

The tools apply widely used pond-keeping rules of thumb and round their output for readability. That rounding, together with the assumptions of a deliberately simple model, means a displayed value may differ from what your specific pond, climate, and fish community actually need. Always treat results as a starting point, not a guarantee.

Why a Result May Look Off

A calculator can return a surprising or unexpected answer when:

• Units are mismatched: entering feet where the tool expects metres (or the reverse) changes the answer entirely.
• Pond shape is approximated: an irregular, naturalistic pond only roughly fits a rectangular, round, or oval formula, so its true volume may differ from the estimate.
• Stocking and bioload vary by fish:a stocking guideline is a general rule of thumb — individual fish size, species mix, and filtration all shift how much a pond can actually support.
• Conditions change with the season: feeding amount, in particular, should track your actual water temperature, which changes throughout the year.
