Excuse my errors!

Okay, then, that means you have the equivalent of 64 times 7.5 = 480 USA gallons of trickle tower capacity on that pond. I am running ~200 gallons of trickle tower capacity on each of two koi ponds, so if I combine all my trickle towers together on the two koi ponds, they are still a little less in volume your 4 trickle towers.

So I apparently was not interpreting your pictures very well, that is why I kept asking questions, to understand!

Okay, that means we are both way overfilted for the fish load, but you are at least a factor of 4 more overfilted than my koi ponds. Actually even more, since you use more water exchange.

I assume your supply water has a reasonable alkalinity to hold a constant pH and alkalinity through water exchange only. With a water supply "free of any alkalinity" at pH of 6.5 to 7, that is not an option for my ponds.

Again, thanks for the good additional remarks. They help me understand your point of views about ponding better.
