a bottom drain is out of the question. I already have an "established" pond thats been running for a year or so. I have 2 barrel filter and a filter box. I know its not enough but its going to have to due for right now. I just want to know if that design will work.

I have a pump that pumps 2000 gph, a home made skimmer, and the said filters.

Thanks for all the help!
