Calling for pictures and description of Meyer Jordans pond!

[Meyer Jordan]

The tanks on the right hand side of the photos are for aquatic plants and the tanks on the left are for fish; the two smaller ones for Goldfish and the two larger ones for Koi.

3 questions.....
How many pumps do you have?
How many GPH are you pumping?
and what sort of filters do you utilize?

I gather you are asking about the pond.
Two (2) pumps in two Skimmers...10,000 gph total flow rate.....2 large biofalls filters, ~100 cubic feet of wetlands filtration, ~100 feet of stream, 4 settling pools, ~120 cubic feet of passive earthen filtration.

More questions:
1. Is the wetland filtration similar to the bogs people are talking about?
2. What is the passive earthen filtration?
3. Could you describe your bio falls filters.
Thanks.

Wow Meyer it is impressive. As I suspected it would be. Thanks for sharing.

1. Yes.
2. In the last series of photos, it is the area in the middle left of Photo #1. This is a lined area directly connected to the main pond basin. It does not have any active water flow so water movement is extremely slow in this area. This was added mainly to provide some level of denitrification.
3. Aquascape Biofalls.

OK people help me out here. I have seen a bit of @Meyer Jordan pond on Facebook and I think it is awesome. He has incorporated some really cool features that I had never even though of until I saw his pond. I hope Meyer does not mind me calling him out. He said he doesn't want to post too much because he doesn't want us to think he is trying to promote his business on here. Meyer, noone thinks that! Help me out people! I think we can all learn some cool new ideas and would just plain out enjoy the photos.

Yikes - What a pond. It's outrageous as I missed your link in my reply. Awesome work, Meyer. I have to go back and look more closely. Thanks for the post ...

I just found and read all of this thread! Just look at Meyer Jordan's pond. What a fabulous yard he had. I hope it is being enjoyed and cared for by someone else now.

Thanks for bumping this thread @BarbO ! I remember enjoying it as @Meyer Jordan was posting it. I too hope someone will enjoy this as he did.

I think he would be proud to look down from his new pond in heaven to see how much he was liked (or loved )on the forum .

I never saw his pond before so thanks for bringing this up

Thanks @BarbO I never came across this thread before. Magnificent. You can easily seen it was planned and built by a master.

I think the new owners of his property took it all out.

How sad but it does happen when owners just don't want the work or hassle .His bridge was why I built my bridge

What a shame!
