Message: [QUOTE="jason081180, post: 41060, member: 2063"] 3 hours east of here you must be right on the state line. My mom used to live in Joplin. if you will come help me I'm sure i could make it out there as well. my weekends are open. but its so damn hot. the way I'm planning my pond is my reto BD plumbed with 2 in flex pipe to a gravity feed settling chamber made out of a 55gal barrel. the top of this barrel will be about 3-4 in above water level so it doesn't overflow. A Sequence 4200GPH pump with a priming pot will then take it to the 150gal stock tank filter. this will be the waterfall back in to my pond using one of koiguys water fall weirs. still need to order that. the purpose of the settling chamber is to get most of the poop and other stuff out of the water before they make it in to the stock tank filter. so less cleaning of the filter. my pond's water level will be about 1.5 ft above ground level. I'm building the walls out of cinder blocks. i hope this weekend. so my settling chamber will be half underground and half above ground. I'm not sure yet how to hide it but I'm thinking plants once its all done. i do have an air pump as well and that set up is described already in this thread. Any other questions anyone or advice for me? [/QUOTE]
