I need a skimmer for a 300 gallon pond..
 
All the skimmers are for large ponds/ Some have a floating top ring for
water heighth. But Im looking for a small one for 300 gallon pond. Can I
make on? I have a 300 and 600 gallon pump. Any ideas? I can cut into the
preformed liner since it is above ground. The filter that I have makes
the water go around the edge so I put a hole in the liner and add water
and it pours the floating stuff out. I have the pond with a 1/2 inch
square netting over it but the darn elm tree seeds still get in. I dont
want to wait 6 weeks for them to stop blowing in. Anyone know of
anything I can build? I was thinking of the 600 gom pump on the outside
in a bucket then something at the waters edge. I can go in or outside
the pond. But I perfer out. The one they for sale are to big. Thank you

You can continue to overflow into something that pumps it back into your
pond. Commercially, did you look at www.aqua-mart.com ? Key Word SDSKM

Now thats a great idea, Keeping the overflow using the hole thats there
and pumping it back in. Thank you. I can make that work. Unless the
water gets to low from evaporation. I have a screen to catch the junk.
But thank you. I will put that on top of the list. Dont give up. Thanks
