Now here Wilson, let me break this down to you!

You are like a bass fish, and ponding is like a fisherman. Ponding has cast
it's bait and hook, you my friend has bit on the baited hook, all that is
left for Ponding (Fisherman) to do now is reel you in baby! You've caught
the ponding bug!

You might as well just give in to this addiction and go ahead and build
yourself a big enough pond! Otherwise you will be back here asking us how
to convert your 200 gallon pond to a veggie filter and how to join a
preformed 200 gallon pond to a 2000 gallon epdm lined pond!

Haaaah! I feel so much better now! Welcome to our little POND club!

I just recently completed my waterfall last weekend and it's looking very
nice, it's roughly 3 1/2 feet high and flows about 6 feet into a 20 gal
basin...with a little 5 gal basin at the top.

My question is this...I can already tell that I want to add a pond right
beside it which will be fed from the 20 gal(it has an overflow spillway)
and
I want to eventually turn the 20 gallon basin into a veggie filter and use
that only, the pond will be no bigger than 150-200 gal and will include a
few(less than 10) fish and various plants....will the 20 gal basin be big
enough and what is the best plant to use? Should I get another small
filter(bottom) to go along with the VF? I saw someone's pics of their VF
the other day and it looked to be a small clover type plant....what is
that? I want to go as natural as possible with my pond.

Thanks in advance!
