No problem about high jacking my thread as I have a lot to learn, reading about experiences from you guys helps.

Steve the four inch pipes are to deep in the ground so I will be putting a elbow on the pipes and putting a cap on the pipes to use later if need be. I want to try and keep water from one pond out of the other so if I do something wrong in one pond I wont mess up all my ponds.. Since I am still in the very early stages of learning and you guys have helped me with what needes to be done. I am looking back over the thread and re reading the the post so I make sure I do this right. I dont want to have to go back and redo. I am going to put a one inch pipe running from my well down the length of the four ponds and tee off with on inch pipe to each pond and am going to put a cut off to each pond. I have thought about doing this though and tell me what you think. I am thinking about putting a elbow on the water inlet pipe and run the pipe up about three feet and another elbow to get a good splash on the surface so I can get a little more air into my ponds. Since I cant move this once in place I am hopeing that it will not be in my way of working the ponds.

Maurice, I was wondering in a greenhouse like that it get very hot, how to do keep the water from overheating? Do you use the fans in the greenhouse like my father did in the plant nursery? Even will the fans going it still got pretty hot. My father was something else when it came to cooling off a greenhouse. He would buy gallons of white paint and water it down and throw it on top of the greenhouse to cool it down a bit, he still had the light coming in, it just was not as heavy, this worked kind of like shade cloth it was just cheaper.
