It took some work to work the roots and walls. <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-8-08/P1010021.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-8-08/P1010021.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-8-08/P1010022.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-8-08/P1010022.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Started toying with a wall for the stream, it didn't pan out - looks wise. The 4 inch bottom drain was plumbed in to the 275gal settlement tank. 1 1/2 pvc runs out by the shed from the tank to flush the fish poo. Also a 3/4 pvc line was ran for air supply to help draw in crud into the drain. <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-18-08/P1010039.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/6-18-08/P1010039.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> This is my DIY filters - 55gal drums - sand and gravel filters. <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-3-08/P1010007.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-3-08/P1010007.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> gravity return roughly 18 inches from pond bottom (TPR) <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-3-08/P1010006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-3-08/P1010006.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> I used some old carpet to protect the liner, I also plumbed in a walmart pool, skimmer. Opposite side of the skimmer you can see a return from the sand and gravel filter. <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527733_ORIG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527733_ORIG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> the lower port under the skimmer is another return (TPR) and above that is a mid level pickup <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527708_ORIG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527708_ORIG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> liner in and getting filled <a href="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527578_ORIG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/mp3coupe/pond3k/7-8-08/5208527578_ORIG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Within 20 minutes of turning on the pump it poured rain and well the water quailty got nuked.
