Hello

Hello Everyone,
I am planning on building a garden pond that is 180sqft at about 2225 gallons with an 8x8 bog/wetland filter fed by a bottom drain and skimmer. I plan to keep a koi, turtles and ducks. I had a pond at my old house that I built without doing enough research and was constantly retro fitting it. I enjoyed redesigning and building new things for it but this time I want to get as much correct from the beginning. I look forward to hearing your insight on this forum.

Welcome to the obsession'!

With turtles a bottom drain is bad idea UNLESS you create a baffle above the drain and cover it with stone thus removing a strong draw and removing any chance of them getting stuck and drowning.
