Thank you FishinRod, I did setup a bunch of sprinklers on a timer and have them go off 2x a day. As far as the “bog” I have is small, but then again the pond itself is t tremendous. The system I have is a 9000 gph pump near the bottom of the opposite side that pumps the water to the bottom of a 6’ deep x 12’ long by about 6’ wide pit. I filled the pit up with stone using large rock on the bottom and gradually decreasing the size of the stone as I filled it. I have some water grasses that took off as well as Lilly pads and recently planted some elephant ear. The water then flows from that down into a smaller gravel filled pool that’s only about a foot deep but same length and width and I have medium sized river rock and gravel in that along with some of the grass. Then it flows into a very shallow area with all small pea sized gravel before dumping back into the pond. In short it is a 3 tear waterfall. If you see any design flaws in this please don’t hesitate to tell me! I’m open to as many suggestions and criticisms as possible! I am far from sensitive!
