hi my name is fred. i am having a pond built this winter. i already have a pond. but its just basic. i plan on having a 6 foot deep pond lower pond and a raised pond above. the dimensions of the upper pond will be 8 feet width. length 5 feet.and 3 foot deep with plants in.and then water fall back to lower pond. lower pond will be 6 foot deep length roughly 13 feet width 10 feet.square pond. glass window, skimmer, 4"inch bottom drain.(spin drifter air diffuser kit.) 2x badu pumps 14000,and 12000.and fish pump 15000. filtration is ultra sieve 111. gravity fed,from bottom drain to pump badu14000 to nexus 320. with balance line. out of nexus to badu pump 12000 into uv evo 55. t pieced with ball valves one to water fall and one to TPR 12"of bottom. then skimmer on separate line to easy pod gravity feed with 15000 fish pump on outlet. with to returns to two TPRs 12"of bottom. Brick work 3 foot below ground and 3 foot above ground. rendered then fibre glassed. what i am trying to find out is if this set up will work. you see i have already bought all the gear and its cost me a fortune. you see i had pumps in side my old liner pond. heck of a lot cheaper. but what the heck my lovely Koi come first. just don't tell the wife.ha ha. Is the TPRs okay at this hight. and will the pumps be good enough. hope to hear from you all. take care freddy boy
