Added a few more pictures here for perspective. The main ponds are spring-fed so I've only been dealing with a run-off system to feed a smaller "minnow" pond.
Long term goal is to raise some fathead/shiner minnows in this smaller pond to provide forage for the larger ponds. Its still a work-in-progress though.
The main ponds are currenty re-filling so I can see how my waterfall system is going to work. At 60 gal per minute..... I've been waiting for 4 days now for it to fill back up that remaining 3ft.
In regards to the to the clogging of runoff pipes. I fabbed up a quick "pre-screen" of sorts to keep out the larger chunks of debris. Yet to know if this system will work well.
Thanks for all the input. This is a summer long project with many more updates to come. All feedback is appreciated!
