The main pond it 12 by 12 3 feet deep. The upper pond is 8 by 8 1 1/2 feet deep with lots of rocks on the bottom. It is filtered with a skimmer box and a bio falls with media in it. the pump is a 4800 gallon pond master supreme. I am in the middle of building a bio. filter out of 2 33 gallon convex containers. The first one will be stuffed with Spring flo media and will pump from the bottom up. The second will have those cleaning pads all you guys rave about. I am just not sure what size pump to use I was looking at a 2000 gph laguna. What do you guys think (I just don't want to much flow).. I started laying out the pathway that leads to the pond not sure if I will leave the grass for joints or use cement (have any ideas

I will post day time pics tomorrow and filter pics when I finish them

Thanks Wayne

A triange shaped pergola sounds good just takes away from the natural feel. Had that big white bird at the house today whats the best way to keep him away
