Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Waterfall enough????

i am gonna fill my pond which is about a quarter acre this spring i damed a very small yr round stream and also excavated out much of it. the pond will be 12ft max depth with a average depth of 6'. so it is very similar to yours. i see you are in washington state it stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter there then here so you should easily be able to support fish. the water fall idea is one i have been thinking about for a while and will probally put in. my plan is a lot different as i have a consstant inflow and constant outflow. i will use a very small dam 3 ft or so to raise the water up then i will put 2 4" diameter pipes(avg flow of water would fill those) to within 10 feet of my pond the pipes would empty into a small man made stream which would then cascade down into a pool of water 4 feet deep rock bottom. in the case of a flood my mini dam would have a concrete top covered with native flat rocks from the stream. iv already got 2 small silt/debris/flood control dams with replica designs and they withstood a one hundred years flood a week ago. man it was scary my stream looked like the mississippi. well good luck. o ya at tractor supply they have sumursible pumps for 100$ they pump quite a bit per hour

good luck
