I have a 700 gallon cattle watering tank and plan on using 200 gallon black pool as a bog filter & want to know the basics before I start. Should I build a frame & leave the pool on the inside or outside the stock tank? How should I feed it, run a hose in the bottom with gravel or just run water on top side, same goes for the
bottom, should outlet water come from the bottom or just run off the top side?

I would put the pool to the outside of the stock tank, the more water you can have in the stock tank the better off the fish will be.
You would want the water fed to the bottom of the pea gravel/bog filter and it would waterfall back into the pond.
