Have a few questions & I know I came to the right forum...

I have a Beckett 325gph pump in a preformed pond, I recently purchased the Total Pond 8" waterfall spillway. My problem: The barbed connection on the back of the spillway can accommodate either 3/4" or 1" I.D. Which translates to 1-1/4" O.D. hose however the discharge on the pump is 1/2"... Any suggestions how to make this work?

Also, if I am not planning on fish, do I need a filter with media, & bio balls??..

Many thanks...

Thanks Sir John!!!.. I am going to surmise that with all the fish pictures you are pointing towards acquiring some fish?!!!

Is there a certain retailer that you can point me towards to purchase these items?..

to our group! even without fish you might want some sort of filtering ow it might get full of blown in debris etc. algae, except you could use chemicals to keep the algae down
