New pond build

[Scottmilr3]

i would suggest the 12 many of these pumps are a good 8 to 9 inches wide add a flex pvc and 10 could be tight.

Makes sense, do you just use a standard sump to pump out the snorkel or is there a different kind that you’d recommend for cleanouts?

I use what ever is closest from a simple pond vac for a quick shot or a 3000 gph submersible

Progress slowed down a bit but I’ll have more time in the upcoming weeks.

Hopefully all set by the end of August.
Picked up the culvert and started planning and cutting. Snorkel will only be about 2.5 feet tall so I’ll need to cut that down yet.

I'd leave your snorkel long untill you know you don't need longer

Everything is moving slowly but starting underlay of the bog and figuring out the flow of water the falls will take before I seam the liner and start putting rock I.

Lòks interesting and to have a few challenges, should be very nice once done

I think the biggest challenge will be seaming the liners together and wrestling with the 20*25ft liner….

Naaaaa epdm seeming is a peace of cake....... there is a sticky on how to do it in the construction forum at the top that I made..
keys are make sure it's clean .
Make sure you glue is fresh and hasn't been sitting on a shelf for years where it freeze /thawd..
And if not comfortable one your seam is done seam the edges of the seam

A little more rocking in

Little by little. Waiting on fabric for over the liner on the bog. Still need to hide a lot of liner, edge and foam the falls.

Originally cut into the centipede every 3” but now wondering if the slits are wide enough after looking at aquascapes centipede

Is you centipede a double wall culvert pipe if so I cut oen like 1 inch wide slits in the lower art of the ribs. Then used 4 to 6 inch rock on the pipe then 2 to 3 on the 4 to 6 . And so on to 3/4

Yes it’s double walled. After looking at aquascapes slits I thought mine were way too small. They are just the width of the saw blade but spaced 3” apart. Sounds good on the rock I’ve got the right stuff for that. Thanks for your help!!
