i was seriously talking about this yesterday lol i was thinking about these also... but in regards to the 55 gallon drums... what if i just did it on a bigger scale... instead of drums could i build a im guessing something like a 5x5x5 square is use this is a filter or how big would it have to be? if not i might really have to get the Advantage 15 bead filters im new and ready to take criticism and ideas

How about four 4" bottom drains 2 skimmers?
and this would go to the 5x5x5 housing right?
sorry for asking so many questions and sounding not knowledgeable of what i wanna do but thanks for your help!
Typically, it is recommended that the size of a filter should be 15% to 20% of the volume of the pond if your pond has large stocks of fish or has Koi.
so i might just have to go with the advantage bead filter to make things a lot simpler in my life? lol do you sell these and if so could you send me a pm
The two 15's would only be good for 30000 gallons so this doesn't count for the water in your filters and pipes.

It's only 20000 you think I still need 2?
If you got the 10's you wouldn't have enough or you would borderline.

And for liner where do you guys recommend i order it from and should i put something under the liner? some people told me old carpet would do
I used bend tarp and liner, tough and if you have good dirt you don't need under layment.

We used carpet pad, but carpet will do also. My ground here is rock with a little dirt, so I did put underlayment under the liner.
excited as can be! woo liner supposed to come in tomorrow cant wait! =] just in time for the weekend

Neat, and they are calling for snow here this weekend, but most likely not significant.
Have fun!
