You have some broken image links at the bottom, where the attached images are. Based on your overhead view and side view, a few suggestions. 1: If possible connect the drain to a drip irrigation system, pond waste water is good stuff for the garden. The mulm has a bit of an oder when it's first dumped but an hour or two after it dries, you can't smell it. 2: It does not appear that you have a settling area, such as a plastic drum, it makes it easier to clean the pond if most of the mulm is in the settling drum. This is how i'd do it, pond - settling drum - waterfall. I put tube light defuser grills in the settling drum to slow the water turbulence. 3: Attempt to use venturi nozzles, especially when draining the water is being gravity fed, free extra aeration. A T shaped pvc connector works great for this. 4: Upside down milk crates are great for providing shelter for smaller fish, and act as stands for you to put pots for aquatic plants. -S |
