Hey Cris, I'm gonna have some time pretty soon here within the next couple weeks. First week of June. I can shoot the clear then if you have some time, or MAYBE next Thursday or Friday.

Yo Chris, we are starting to fix our front yard.. instead of a fish pond, we are gonna just make a small waterfall with no fish... we got the giant rock already... the plan is for the pump to pump the water up into the rock (we'll drill the rock n fit a hose in it) and it flows down. There won't be any pond showing cause we have heavy leaf falls in the yard. Thinking of digging a hole, put a metal frame on top... lay a layer of rock river rocks.. the waterfall goes onto the rock, goes under the metal frame and into the hidden pond where it get pumped back out into the rock.

not gonna be too big... how does that idea sound? once we dig it, I'll figure out how many gallon it holds n ill ask u for the proper pump / place to buy cheapest at..

also... something like this with no fish, would the water turn green fast? anything to caution about?



this way, all the leaf n crap will get caught on the river rock, we'll just clean that weekly.. trying to find ways so the water doesn't stink too fast. if anything, we just need to remove the river rock, take the metal net off.. pump out the old water and put new one in every few month.

i have a awesome external pump here i can sell you for $200 that will move about 3600 gph (gallons per hour) but that might be too much depending on the size and gallons you plan to have in the pond... you ALSO NEED to make sure you are not going to be digging near any GAS/ELECTRICAL lines fu! you need to know where everything is...

gold fish are good to start with and just slowly start adding Koi once the pond starts to get established... choose a spot that gets mostly/partial shade a good 80-90% of the day but also. get a book on how to do all this shyt also so you dont mess up....

i need to know exact dimensions and all before i can recommend pumps and filters and i need to know HOW you plan to plumb the whole thing as well as wether you want water falls etc

ya after talking with my dad for awhile.. we gave up on having fish.. just too much hassle and money for now.. he doesnt want it big either.. so it looks retarded with 1 fish..

im going to home depot to pick up some cheap labor this weekend... after they are done digging, ill give u specific dimension and gallon.. the pump is just enough for having a light water flow thru the rock into the pond n back... dont want no monster water fall

water wont be seen from the surface... what it looks like is u are walking down the front yard, see a giant rock with water flowing down (mini waterfall). it flows onto some riverrocks and dissapears.. no water will be exposed

I won't have fish... its just water flow.. for the look of it. you're right on the mosquito part.. I'm kind of worried about that too.. probably just buy some Bacillus thuringiensis and put it into the water. as to what to hold the rocks, some kind of plastic/metal as long as its water proof. Im sure we can find something. have some holes in it for water to leak under.. purpose is to look good from the outside with the rocks.

we just want a outdoor water fall effect.. there will be plants and stuff around the rocks. so it looks like a garden with a small waterfall in the middle

I was reading websites on mosquito control.. their solution was mosquito dunk, fish, waterfall, or bats.. BATS!?! wtf... wouldn't we have bat problem then -_-;;; then probably get hawks to control bats... lol
