tomorrow I will put some pic's up of our build. we made a 20 x 40 swim pond. it is all not finished yet, but we go as the budget, but at least we ar dipping sinds eastern weekend (minus 1 week of rain) the pond has on both left and right a strip 40 feet length wise that is 4 feet wide and only 10 inches deep, leaving a 12 feet wide trench in the middle that is about 50 inches, maybe 54 the shallow sides are to chill out, and have the little one run back and forward. I gust dug a L shape filter 24 feet x 7 and than the L would be another 10 x 5 the filter is 3 feet deep, and tomorrow I will put the liner in, and 3 inch piping on the bottom. after that I fill the entire filter with fine drain rock, so that there is only 4 to 5 inches of water depth. this entire bed will be fully planted with about 2 plants/scf. what I'm going to do is pump water into the filter (as it is 4 inches higher than the pond) and let it go threw the 3 feet of gravel and plant roots, to the pipes on the bottom. the pipes than lead the water back up and flow into the pond. in total I will be pushing about 5000 gal/h threw the plant filter (2 laguna maxflow 2400 and a 2900 as a backup a Oase 55 watt UV will be on plumbed in line, but on standby untill needed
