[quote][i]Originally posted by drunkenfool[/i] Well, time for another quick update but not much visual progress im afraid :( Basically when we were building the pond, instead of putting in the usual 4" bottom drain that most large ponds have, we decided to put in 3 1.5" outlets instead which all fed into the same 4" pipe. I figured that one 1.5" pipe can pump out 10,000 lph under pressure, so 3 should be enough to flow back out under gravity. Sound in theory, but, due to my ebay bargain of getting the larger filter than we paid for, the water level in the filter was already a bit lower than it should have been so with the head loss of the 1.5" pipes as well, we had to face the music and consider putting in a proper 4" pipe :( The main reason why we didnt in the first place was because of just how much extra work was involved, digging channels, smashing up the concrete base of the greenhouse, reconcreting etc etc, but here we are anyway! We had to get a 1500 gallon quarantine tank set up by the house, take the door off the greenhouse, take out all the filters, set them up again in the quarantine tank, then empty the pond of water, take out the liner and start digging again.
