FireIsHot, thanks for the information and great timing also, I was about to walk out the door to head into town to purchase piping. The pond was about 1.5 acres before I began expanding and assume its about 2 acres now but will measureing it later today. I had planned to purchase 2-24" pipes to ensure it would handle the watershed but will stratch that idea.
Just thinking out loud, if I put 1-14" inverted v-drain and I feel uncomfortable with the watershed, I could always add another with ease. I will give this a try.
It poured down rain last night but I will get a few photos taken and post. I will keep them coming as I continue on my quest of making a dream pond.
Thanks once again to you and esshup for sharing suggestions and experiences. This is what I think is so wonderful about this site and how so many offer it without reservation to total strangers.
