What materials should I use in my DIY pond to help hold the water?
I've worked with EPDM rubber liners and PVC pond liners. Both work, but EPDM rubber is a bit costly. 45 mil EPDM rubber liner is what I use most. Tip: Just make sure to properly line the hole you dig with sand or old carpet to protect the liner from punctures.

While that might work for you, tap water can vary greatly in quality and consistency. It's safer to use RO/DI water to avoid potential problems.

Want to add this: NEVER use tap water. Even if it's treated, it can still have impurities that harm your fish and corals. Always go for RO/DI water.

Great advice @david Also, make sure the water temperature is close to your tank's temp before mixing and ensure you have good water circulation during the aeration period.
