I'm just an observer here(don't have a pond of my own yet), but I have an
idea that may work.

Could you run a conduit (say 1 1/2" to 2") ungerground that is connected to
both ponds. The conduit would be open at both end so you could let the laws
of physics keep the two ponds at the same level.

You would of course want to have some sort of filter cage ot keep debris
from clogging the conduit, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Good Luck, Tommy

My ponds would be all on same level ground and there would be a garden
in between the two ponds, so overflow in that sense is not possible.
This is why I was considering using the second pump and hoses(burried
in garden) to move the water from the smaller pond into the larger
pond to complete the circle. would this work? Would I not be causing
any major problems with overflow of the smaller pond?

It can be done.
I have two ponds. One big and one small. They are on different level.
I use only one pump to draw water from the smaller pond to the
waterfalls above the big pond. The overflow from the big pond to the
smaller one is designed that way that as soon as the water level goes
up it overflows.
