Priss,

The pond sounds good and I would say that you shouldn't have to dig it
again, but everyone knows, a pond shrinks when it gets wet. The filter
system will be the area that will need the most upgrading, but that is done
as needed, after the fish population gets larger, and fish grow larger and
the begging gets louder and the food is fed more freely. My large pond is
12X18X3 to 3.5 feet deep. I still like the pond. The filters have had some
kind of upgrade every year, no going on 6.

I'm almost ready to expand my pond.
On April I will start on my hole. The new pond will be 15x15 and 4 ft
deep.
I got my liner in. I got my pump. Its a Sequence External Self Priming
Series
The flow rate is 1500 - 5400 G.P.H.
I'm going to have two bottom drains. I ordered Greg's CD to show me how to
do this.
I'm go have a settlement pond behind the big one with filter mat in it and
hide that with plants.
I'm still debating if I will have a waterfall. Don't really know how to
make
one.
Oh yeah, I want a skimmer also.
Does all this sound good?
I want this one to be the last hole I dig.
I have Koi, Shubunkins, comets and sarassa's.
