I was going to angle one of the small falls from the bog away from the intake bay and i thinking I will put the spillway basin at the high point of the pond. Hopefully that will give me what I need for flow?One note the bog appears to be more toward the intake bay. You have an area up toward the front door with now cross flow of water . a circulation jet or shifting the bog toward the front may be needed your filtered water should travel all along the pond before it reaches the intake or your not getting good circulation
@GBBUDD Here's a quick sketch I did, not entirely to scale but helps illustrate what I am trying to do. There would still be a wall separating the pond and bog just wouldnt be as high as the current design. I would also be able to use some of my larger boulders in more of a natural orientation as it will take up less room. I am really just looking to get rid of the vertical wall at the low shelf and it will only be 6-8". Both the designs I will need to foam the rock on the bog side to force the water over the lower sections. Think it will work?There's a guy in the eu who was doing a bleeding wall similar to what your talking about last i knew it wasn't working the best how ever . there are others that have a bog area that's like half the surface of the pond or more where it has worked.
If you make the wall separating the two and all it's doing is holding back the water and the gravel of the bog you don't need to worry structurally inward to the bog because the stone will hold that wall in that direction it's only toward the pond you have to be concerned with

Thanks, I think no matter what I do there will be rock sitting on top overlapping the bog. I tried to size it close to 30% of the pond surface, so hopefully that will suffice.It will work. Will reduce effectiveness of the bog a bit as water can’t percolate up through 100% of the media, but this design style is done frequently and still works great.
I dont think this particular model comes with an extension. Does it matter if the opening and lid are under water? I dont see myself needing to access it very often.Would recommend digging the vault a few inches lower than the blocks, actually. If you want the vault lid above water, can you add an extension?
We’re you concerned about other dimensions?

No, not even sure where the bog is in this one. Guessing its the shallow area?Are you trying to build similar to this
