1500-2000 Gal Pond Ideas

[soneil241]

Good afternoon all,

I currently have a 500gal pond I started during Covid and have quickly caught the urge for a larger one. I drew up a sketch of what I'm looking to do and was hoping for some pump ideas/sizes, waterfall/skimmer, UV , aerators, pipe sizes types and pretty much anything you'd recommend. Also, anything I should stay away from and lessons learned haha. Thank you again in advance, Sean

Looks like a good design. Make sure you put an overflow for the pond and a water level fill kit. Usually in the skimmer…. That is where ours is….

There are some all in 1 skimmers my wife found that we are considering with filter media,uv lights, skim basket, pump, over flow and level make up kits available Etc.
