I'm new to this forum but I have had my pond for over 4 years. I currently have a 15,000 gallon pond 32 feet by 15 by 7 feet deep. I have (2) 4 inch drains that basically run thru a pump and then to the water fall. I'm on a low budget but on the other hand do not want to continue to throw money at it. Any suggestions would great. Setting tank (How Big) Bio Filter ?? For some reason I could not upload my pictures.

The only way I can get my pix on here is to first put them on Photobucket and then just paste them in my post. For some reason I cannot post pix right from my computer files :lol:
If you can figure it out we'd love to see your huge pond :yikesu:

Welcome to the group. Check the diy section there is a lot of home built filters (doc skippy) that would probably work for you.

Nice size pond you have there.

That will be a lot of filtration. They say you should have 35 gallons for every 1000 gallons.
