thanks esshup,
I was looking for the suggested "turns" in order to maintain good O2. I can calculate the pond volume and the GPH from the waterfall pump but my unknow was the "turns". If that number is 3 per day, I'll back into the waterfall flow rate. I was expecting a much lower number but that was a SWAG.

I'm going to be building 2 ponds. 1 smaller approx. 100' x 80' with the waterfall as an entry water-feature. This is an existing spring fed stream with an existing concrete low water crossing danm. The 2nd pond will be about 1 1/2 acre and requires excavation and construction of an earthen damn.

Questions - How do I set up a project site on Pond Boss to document the project progress and issues (with pics and video) and secondly suggestions of forums/sites to research before getting started. Lots of questions about soil and sealing. I've researched quite a bit but there is sooo much consider in order to get it right the first time,
