I went to Huges Water Gardens in Portland and wanted a piece of liner so I could make a ten by ten by five foot deep pond (20x20). He had a piece that was 21x25 (same price as the smaller piece) so I am going for a pond that is 10x15. It will be five feet deep too. My hub and I ran out and rented a tractor thingie with a bucket and front scoop on it and have the hole almost all the way dug. It should be about 5600 gallons.
He said we should look up and see how many ponds we can have. I hope to make my big pond that i have now which is about 3800 gallons bigger. It is sooo balanced and happy now though.
I am making another half in half out pond too that will be 8x8 by three with two feet of it underground. I have a bunch of pumps laying around. I would love the biggest pond to actually be as easy to maintain as my the 3800 is now. The 3800 has two pumps. The Savio Solid (2400gph) for the bottom "drain" and a 3600 GPH for the skimmer (submersible) which flows through a bio falls before entering the UBERMONGOUS filtration system.
I have no idea what size pump to get and what kind right now. Suggestions?
