Hi folks , the addiction has grown, today i came into possesion of a larger pre formed pond and pre formed cascade waterfall (it seems some thing or one in fish heaven answered a telepathic wish for me ) i am looking for suggestions on how if at all possible i could combine the two , im guessing the waterfall is the answer i want the bigger pond only slightly higher than the smaller , is there a connection i can purchase that will allow , lets say a drip process or even better a steady flow without too much spray loss . My ultimate goal would be to connect the two via pipe/tunnel for the fish to navigate back and forth , but this would entail cutting and sealing and i am in no way confident enough to tackle that and the extreme circumstances that could result from failure , the fish deserve the priority and i must remember that i am playing with life here ....... of course this said connection would have to occur after the pond has cycled , any suggestions would be appreciated , and i know you all would like to see photos , but i am relying on my 11 year old son to take and d/l the darn things ... optimum words here are ELEVEN ...lol

Laughing lenny, kids are computer smart!

you could have the larger over hang the smaller, with one part of the preformed sanded down, or a weir built for it.

For the pass through you could use two inch pipe, and two shower drains, seal with that black pl roofing stuff. The 2 inch will glue right into the shower drain The pl stuff will seal it well.

I think they may even have something similar for a larger drain, but I have not checked for that. in quick on line check with hd they have 3 and 4 inch drains if you want a larger pass through
