Ive been looking for the parts i need for my pond and was looking for a skimmer i found
http://www.petmountain.com/show_product/522567/?utm_source=shoppingdotcom&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=522655
its the cheapest i found for the size-price wise. Anyone running this also if u have it where is the holes located on it
im looking for one that has the opening below water line so i can have gavity working on my side because the pump will be off to the side.
The pond water line will be about 20inch above where pump will be so if needbe i can add more filters away from pond. Im thinking  if my pond water line is 20inch above
i can have the drain and skimmer flow to a holding tank and then pump back from there to pond. What do you think? thanks for your feedback

hi all im looking for some feedback and ideas. im going to be putting in a pond. ive beed reading alot on this site and others because good planning is half of the job.
1st. im putting in a small wall that will be flower beds and my pond what im wondering about is the wall will be about 2 ft high thus not have too dig 2 ft of however deep ill go
ill be getting fill dirt to fill the flower beds and to fill around the pond What kind of compaction do i need to do on the dirt? my dirt here is more rock than anything and already hate rocks and havent even started my pond.i hope the pics came out 1 is  the wall and the 2nd is where i want my pond. i thinking of going somewhere around 4 ft deep and have something like a smaller pond that feeds the big 1 so i can have plants in that 1.
