AIs this all you are planning to use for filtration? Or will you supplement with a barrel of some kind?

ok, great. Just wanted to make sure you weren't thinking that that the skimmer and waterfall filter would be enough.

I would PM DoDad, as he is a vendor of pond equipment. Ask him to get you a price on the same items and do a comparison. That will give you a better idea if you are getting a good deal or not.

I've had my Savio waterfall filter for over 15 years. I love it but also have a pressurized filter with uv as well as a bog for filtration. I am building a filter out of a 150 gal. stock tank for our new pond as it is basically the same setup as the Savio but a lot cheaper!

Are you saying the savio f100 with the 22" weir and the large Savio Skimmer / Filter Base Unit SS0000 with a 8.5" weir or the CS0000 Compact Skimmer Base Unit with the 8.5" weir?
