You're probably right about the connecting of the two ponds with the preformed piece, but I need to be able to get the water from the upper pond to the lower pond. One of the ponds (the one that floated) has a U shape cut in one edge. So I need to make some kind of lip there to channel the water back into the lower pond. Also if I make an outside tote filter then the water leaves the lower pond via the hose enters the tote and then leaves the tote via a hose into the upper pond. Is that correct?
Newbie to preformed

I've lived here all my life. Don't you miss the rain? Actually we had one of the worst Springs ever that I can remember but sure keeps things green here. What part of Wa. did you live in?
Lol, no I don't miss driving and running errands in the rain, but I do miss the green and the cooler temps. I lived in Bellevue, Snoqualmie, Everett, and Bothel. We used to spend a lot of time camping in Weyerhauser land. I would love an inground pond surrounded by ferns, trilliums, and rhododendrons. We vacationed up there 2 summers ago and my southern born husband fell in love with the state.

Hmmmmmmm, well maybe you will be returning soon 
hmmm.. appears i said welcome on the other double post...so welcome Marie...Sissy is very good at the concept of making and doing without spending a lot of money( and others here as well) but I think you can make it work, it'll take some trial and error and probably a good amount of silicone or some type of waterproof goop, but the end result should work
Thanks, don't ask. Yeah, I hit submit and it appeared to be frozen for so long that I hit submit again. Should I delete one of them? I think it will work, but as you said with trial and error. I am going to make a mini skippy type of filter behind the raised pond that will outflow to the raised pond which will outflow to the lower pond with the pump. If I can just get DH out there to help me tomorrow in this, lol.
good luck with DH.. hopefully his enthusiasm will grow as yours has...sorry we are half a country away or i'd certainly lend a hand... i think a moderator is the only one who can delete or perhaps join the two posts together
