Well if you're in to DYI, even my filter, of which you'd need 2 for that
many gallons, would run you $500/each (includes all fittings, bottom drain & skimmer), but if you used a cheaper media (as that was half the cost) you could get by cheaper. Window screening would be my second choice after what I currently use. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website On Tue, 13 Jul 2004 02:42:27 GMT, Grumpy wrote: This guy at the pond store wants to sell me 2 filter at 500.00+ each.

Wow, Dave what a plan!!! That is going to be really an awsome pond/water
feature. Here is a link to our waterfall if you are interested.... http://public.fotki.com/Nikkiekoala/our_garden/ You can kind of get an idea of what I was talking about at the pond shop. Good luck with your pond I hope you post pictures when it is completed. It was nice meeting you. Nikkie "Grumpy" wrote in message news:n_HIc.64023$MB3.63889@attbi_s04...

Wow, that is quite the water fall. How is the noise (sound) of the
splash? I'm trying to plan mine. I think it's going to be on the loud side with the the 3 streams and all. I just got the boulders a couple of days ago, I'll post soon. The big one is 1,100 lbs. Keep us posted on your leak. And nice meeting you too. We should visit each other's ponds and take notes! See ya soon. (stay out of those expensive pond shops!)

The waterfall is loud BUT for us that is a good thing. Sunnyside is at our
back fence, it drowns out most traffic noise. You have one boulder that is over 1000 pounds?! How on earth are you getting it to your pond site? My brother in law is coming over to take a look at the leak on Wed. we want to make sure that we really know that the leak is where we think. Then we will have to turn the fall off and let things dry out. We are going to use mortar instead of the GreatStuff we used before. Greatstuff is easier but obviously didn't last long. Hubby still wants to use more GreatStuff but I want it done right and to last. Don't worry, I wont be at any pond shops unless I need to pick a brain or two. I already found the PondFiltration 'media bags' for $40.00 cheaper online. Look forward to seeing your completed pond! Have fun. "Grumpy" wrote in message news:l9GPc.237910$Oq2.153679@attbi_s52...
