Ok, so I did a little homework and THINK I know what I want to do with the setup now after some consultation with Eddies Aquarium. I decided as much as I didnt want to to take out the island b/c
1. Smoothing the liner around that would be a PITA and look like junk all wrinkled up, and
2. The liner Id need to do that was over $1000!
So today I hucked the island out, and got it close.
Heres a schematic I made of the pond as advised by [Jess@Eddies](mailto:Jess@Eddies), lmk what you think and if there is anything different you would do… I thought the pump/pickup should be moreso in the middle, but idk…

I guess it depends on the size of the turd itself, if youre workin with something over 2’’ OD we might have a clog and have to backwash that shit, which would fire it over into the dyke neighbors yard lol.

Should’ve talked to Bob@Eddie’s. Got me a 99.2% discount on a liner for my 100,000 gallon goldfish pond. Final cost was $71.53 out the door for everything including fish.

I think with the pump/pickup at the end and the waterfall at the other end is the way to go. That way you’ll have a steady current of water and no stagnant area (if you had the pump in the middle). Looks good man! You should setup an underwater camera and a TV on the wall in your house like a fish tank haha

This will help your waterfall flow better by a great deal. Don’t cheap out and make sure to get Motorcraft SW-3 solonoids. You’ll fry the lesser ones on all the voltage :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Or since the pump probably runs on AC, take a old microwave transformer and wire that in. You should be able to get like 2kV to the pump :rofl
