Hi zhinu...I just recently made myself an above ground pond. I got the idea from another DG'er who had one on his back porch. Not in the grass, nothing permanent. But he used a plastic stock tank, like you can get at a feed store. I went and got one, too. His is sitting on the cement, with nice pond plants, and a few fishies, and until recently didn't even have a pump going to it. He did get a little pump last week, but only to circulate some water from another bucket he placed in front of the first one. With mine, I did sink it partially into the ground, but he did not. My two cents is this...you could combine the two ideas, by..getting a plastic tub, and then maybe stacking some rocks around it on your porch to hide the tub, like I did..or just leave it like his. I will post his pictures and mine. I agree that the glass will heat up too much, even if you do have mild weather. Just think about the inside of a car :( His pics are in this thread. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5224031
