Hello!
I recently (April, 2013) had a 5000 gal. gunnite pond with a recirculating stream and multi-tiered waterfall installed in our backyard. It has a bottom drain, skimmer box w/ mechanical filtration, uv clarifier, waterfall filter with mechanical and biologic filtration, 14000 gph. centrifugal pump and a small aerator. Regardless of all this, I am new to the pond hobby - my previous experience based in aquarium keeping, aquatic entomology and flyfishing. I have slowly introduced four sarasa comets, two koi, twelve trapdoor snails and most recently, four rainbow trout. The trout love the heavy flow! I look forward to picking the brain of all you experienced ponders.
