I am planning on a having a large veggie filter that will be fed by a
pump
and will then flow back into the main pond. I am now considering a
skimmer
and a bottom drain. What kind of pump set would you use? Three smaller
pumps? Can one or more of these functions share a pump?

I'd use one pump for the bottom drain and veggie filter. My setup is
an upflow filter design that pumps into a veggie filter.

That was my next question...can I just dump the bottom drain output into my
veggie filter. Seems like it makes sense. I am pumping water up to the
filter anyway. Why not suck it from there?

I guess if something fails though, this could empty the pond, because the
bottom drains are so low...
