Hi everyone,
My name is Michael and I am new to this site and ponds in general. I wanted to build a 4'x2'x12' pond made of wood above my cemented patio. The patio is not totally even and has a slight slope to it. Am I wrong to build the frame (just the front, back and the sides minus the bottom) just to retain the shape and not worry too much about the slope? Also since I am not building a bottom for it, I was thinking the cement could double as the bottom because I will be using a liner in that frame. Another question I have is that from the pond, I was thinking of having a 500gph pump going out of the pump to the biological filter and back, but do I need a UV clarifier? The pond will be near my fence and will have sunlight from round 8am til about 4pm.
Thank you for your patient and advice =)
