Message: [QUOTE="808AllDay, post: 406243, member: 11129"] I have a old man made dry riverbed. Im almost certain its not water tight (currently filled with rocks). It was constructed like a rock wall. Rock is cemented in place to form the shape of the river bed. It is also on very even ground. And I dont have access to electricity. I feel that it makes this project so much harder. I also dont need alot of fish but I would like to make it home to a turtle. Just enough fish to control mosquitos. Its about 24' long by 2-3' wide and 2' deep. This is a generous estimate and most of the river bed is v shape. Could I turn this into a pond? My idea is to fill in about 6' of it so that the depth is 12". This will be my bog. The rest will be "pond". Can the bog be the same height as the rest of the pond? I would just put a mesh with some bigger rocks to hold back the smaller pebbles back. As far as electrical concerns im going to try use solar (panel, controller and battery) I would have it run 15 min on 15 min off. Ill also have solar aerater and one smaller pump thats not connected to the battery. It would only run during sunlight. This is the pump I was thinking of using 12V - 24V DC Brushless Submersible Water Pump, 410GPH, for Solar Fountain, Fish Pond, and Aquarium (1 Pack) [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IAFCRF2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hO-UCb1HPSXA5[/URL] It would only run at 12v so : [SIZE=5][B]Operating voltage range: DC 12V-24V Power Consumption: 5.0W@12V ~ 21.5W@24V Maximum flow rate: 240GPH@12V ~ 410GPH@24V Maximum pump head: 3.3ft@12V ~ 10.5ft@24V[/B][/SIZE] Any advice is welcomed.
