Default pump and drums


Okay, you guys that have external pumps and uses 55 gal drums are going to
have to help me here. My pump is suppose to push 1500 - 5400 G.P.H.
If I have the pump pulling from the 55gal drum to push water flow in the
pond, I was thinking if it max's 5400 how can I get the water to flow into
the drums being gravity fed fast enough without the drum going dry. I'm go
have 3 drums. One the settlement, one with loads of filter mat and the other
empty with a hair of filtermedia and this one will be the one the pipe from
pump pulls from. Also the pipe going to the pond I was going to have a
venturi thingie set up. Did I explain that? I am so tired.
