Pump gph

[Parrot lady]

I finally have my piping done in my bog and my retaining waterfall wall. The bog is 3x4 12in. deep. The retaining wall is 10in tall. I'm using 2in pipe with an adapter for the 3/4 in. Pond hose. The tubing will be going over a 1 1/2 ft. tall hill of dirt . My question is which pump should I use, my 800gph or the 3000 gph?

How big is your pond?

I don't think the 3/4" hose will handle 3000gph! The 800 gallon should be fine but I would use larger pipe to supply the 2" bog pipe.

The pond is 12_ 13 ft wide and 14ft long. Almost 3 ft deep

I was wrong the PVC pipe is 1. 1/2. Inch

That's sounds better. Still think with the size of bog, the 800 would be good.

Thanks! Another question, is a 3x4 bog big enough for 2500 gal. Pond?

Any bog will help! I have used multiple window boxes hung on the side of the pond. Now have a 150gal stock tank bog on a 4500 gallon pond along with 4 of the window box bogs!
