OK, so most of you know that I have had a big problem with my VF in that
I
didn't realize it was so far above ground when I dug it, so now I have a
significant amount of liner showing on one end. I had planned to dig it
down, but I have existing landscaping in place that would make that
difficult and unsightly.

I arrived at a solution today. A neighbor of mine is getting rid of a
preformed liner. I am getting it for $30!!! I plan to bury this above
the
VF, and then build a large rock water fall over the exposed liner in the
VF.
I'll lose some surface are in the VF, but will pick that pack up in the
upper pond. The wife thinks it's a cool idea.

HELLO!?!?!?! Pond #3?????? Already???

I think it will work, and it should look nice compared to what I have now.
It will also give me some more surface area for filtration. Although, I
might just make this my lotus pond, instead of doing one up by the house, as
I had planned.

To make this work though, I will need to replumb the VF, as my feed pipe is
to high for a gravity feed back to the reservoir pond, I think. I may still
need to build my sandbag wall to raise part of the VF water level up. That
should work, should look nice when covered with rocks, and solve my problem.
We'll see.

Either way, a $30.00 rigid pond liner, is worth it. I don't know the
gallonage, but it is pretty large. Original price was $80.00.
