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

feature.

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.

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!)
