Moved it to a new thread to not continue off topic on the water change thread I will delete out my posts from that one.

The 2000 gallon pump would be bringing water from my 400 gallon section up to my 500 gallon section so in effect shouldn't I beleive that it is 900 gallons worth of water I need to filter? I was told the more gallons you have going through your filters the better because more of the water is filtered more often. Also I will be moving the water 5 foot up which I am told will deminish my actual gph amount. The more water movement the less sediment and garbage will lay around to fester and more that will get to the filter? Last of all is I had a little waterfall of about 6 inches off of a 400 gph pump and the flow out of it was pretty weak and that was only moving about 3 foot up.
Once again these are all assumptions based on a year of misinformation and in some cases flat out lies mixed with three weeks of actual learning from you all and your old posts.
The Koi book is in the works my library here had one from 85' and another that was even older. My town is full of rednecks (no offense if you group yourself as such) that as I mentioned before thought my water garden would be a great place to store his minnows to keep them alive between fishing trips.
I plan on taking a little trip this weekend to a "real" pond store and see what is going on. My wife is really paranoid about credit info (as am I seeing the nearly daily news articles about databases getting hacked and hundreds of thousands of people account information getting stolen) over the computer as to why I don't just get it that way.
Thanks again for all your help
