Well, I stopped in a our watergarden shop yesterday to talk to them about a few things. They thought my problem with water clarity has been mud run off from the surrounding dirt. She told me be more aggresssive about water changes. I told her I had already done about 60%. She said I could do more, especially since I took out the fish. Fast forward....I decided I'd just drain it (DH didn't think we'd have any problems with it lifting) and get the mud out and refill...My pondliner floated up out of the ground AGAIN! Argh!
So we are rebuilding the lower pond and waterfall and using a flexible liner this time! The upper preformed pond will stay where it is at. Hmmmm, I wonder if I could cut the side of the upper preform down a little to make sort of a waterfall weir and actually have the upper pond feeding into the lower pond.....
Anyway, we have a very big project ahead of us. I don't think the little DIY waterfall weir/filter I made originally will work for a bigger set up. I'm not sure how to do the filtration (as inexpensive as possible) Especially if I end up feeding the upper pond into the lower pond, that will take away my waterfall filter completely so I'm not sure where a filter would go at that point!
Any thoughts or suggestions woud be helpful!!
