Problem with calculating...

I bet you that a 3200 GPH pump can produce a stream like this.
But study the design and the plantings, it just may be what you are looking for.
Ask others what they think about the pump size as well.
Or just enjoy the pictures and we will help you again.

KoiGuy, thanks. TSC is exactly with whom I started. They have EVERY size listed except 70. ;/ I started with the (national) web site (http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp...Display&ip_categoryId=&ip_mode=&ip_perPage=20) and having no luck there (or with customer service) started calling locally. Nope. Not unless I want the 50 or the 100.
After following a long list of referrals, I actually found two places w/them late this afternoon. Hooray! One's in stock for $98 and the other can be ordered and will be here Wednesday for... gasp $63. SOLD! :icon_mrgreen:
Thanks Dr.C! I'd do eBay, but we're putting shovels in the ground on July 5th- and want to have it by then.
David, wow! Great photos! And thanks for the info! I agree- I'm kind of leaning toward that 3200 hybrid, for many reasons; strength, oil-free, but the power of a direct drive. It seems the happy medium of all the answers I've gotten thus far.
I also found a club site that shows members ponds: Michigan Koi and Pond Club. The first one I saw was an established & healthy 3000 Gal, THREE waterfalls and a 20ft stream. Their pump size? 2700. Hah! Crazy how things differ.
So that settles it. The 3200 it is. Finally.
I can't thank all of you enough for your help & advice.
Now comes the fun & stress of actually DOING it. So far we have at least 12-15 volunteers to help out with everything on the 5th. It's not actually going into my place, but at an animal sanctuary. I volunteer there once a week so I'll definitely get to enjoy it, but still- they get to keep it.
