New Waterfall/Pond

[BOBBY DAVIS]

Am in the planning stages of building a waterfall and pond with a 1500-1700 gal.volume,with about an 18 ft. stream and around an 8 ft head. I plan on using a kit that includes the required components. I also have a gravity fed spring that I would like to plumb into the filter box.

Comments/suggestions would be appreciated'

Wish you good luck to get completed your pond soon.
Please share some pics when you got it completed.

How much flow from your spring? That should be very good for water quality, I think.

Hi Bobby, Welcome. Just wondering what kind of fish you are planning for your pond? If you are thinking about Koi I would make it as big as possible.

Welcome, sounds very nice. I wish I had 8ft of height in my yard but it is very flat. I could make a hill but it would not look very natural.

Sounds like a great pond and stream! I'd imagine you'll have trouble finding a kit with all the required components for such an undertaking though...

Hello and welcome aboard!

Just remember that a spring will flow harder after rains and has to be a place in the pond for run off .The other house i bought had a spring that ran into it and we had to divert some of the water from going into the pond
