Hi all, trying to finalize my pond design. Main pond will be 12'*20' with a large bog filter. Stumped on design of placement and am wondering if I am putting too much emphasis on shortening pump to bog distance. Land is fairly flat. Here are the two options I am considering. Thoughts or ideas? What is a good distance for a pipe run to a bog?
How much does pipe length matter/ bog filter

This may or may not help. In another house, I had a (I called it a ) satellite bog that connected to my box turtle habitat. I don’t have figures, but would would guess that I had at least 20’ - 30’ from the pump to the bog, then another 10’ - 20’ for the return to the pond (bog and pond were connected by 4” PVC return pipe). I had to be sure there was enough elevation of the bog construction in order for gravity return.
