@DUKE LADUKE

The shim pump and savio will be dope. I have the same set up with my pond but just a bigger shim pump.Water will be crystal clear and you can have some big motherfuckers in there withought having an issue.Hope they helped you out adam !!!

Yeah they def helped, thanks man! Is your system similar to this flow path? Im thinking of runnign the black piping inside the pond tho instead of pvc on outside…

@Wayne64SS

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

:rofl Ass

Wow, this is awesome. I love water gardens. I built a small one a few years back on kind of on a whim. I will be tearing it out and re-doing it completely very soon. A friend of mine is going to come up with a design with a drawing and/or Photoshop. My artistic skillz are shot.

If you really need to get rid of the dirt, I can arrange that. I need quite a bit of it to fill in some low spots in the yard.

I had lava rock and a drop in type filter in my waterfall with a vorton 5000 (was getting bad algae in the hot summer days). Also, added in bacteria to break down fish waste. Water was always crystal clear and the fish did great.

I used silo cap on a recommendation from a forum and that shit did not last at all. I ended up tearing it all out and buying a good EPDM liner. I think it was like 75 bucks or something.

I am going to try the pond foam to get the water to flow over instead of under stuff this time. Not sure exactly what I want, really. I really wanted a natural look, but I just can’t seem to create that look. Who knows what this new design will bring, but here is some pics of mine. This was just after I fixed the silocap liner disaster:

I was waiting for you to find this thread!!! Your shit looks good man!

[ninety1two40]

When you building one Wayne?

[Mike3]

After the tig!

[EffingGreat]

Sweet pond… looks like way to much work though, hire a land scaper next time. lol

@94Gt5.0

Thats a myth! If it is moving water(not stagnant) there is no surface tension for bugs to collect on the top of the water and sit around. Plus the fish eat insects so thats a win. Im going to have a waterfall on the back of it and possibly a fountain coming off the island to keep the water movin good.

^that’s why EVERY single pond or body of water (aside from the ocean obviously) had some kind of stupid fountain in it in Florida. Otherwise the bugs got HORRIBLE.

Adam I noticed some flaws in your pump design… so I took some time out of my night to redesign it for you.

I also photoshopped what the pond could look like when you’re done.
