ok so I thought I would post this since it is similar to my original post. I did get a 3/4 acre pond dug and it is almost full. My only concern is that I dont think the water height is going to be quit as high as I would like it do to the overlfow pipe level. I was thinking about putting a 45 or 90 water tight elbow on my 12 in double wall pipe but was curious as to what would happen in the winter since the pipe would be underwater when the pond freezes? I attached a crude drawing of what i am talking about. thanks chris
