hi every one
as im new here and have just started to build my second pond i want to post pictures and info as i go through building it for every one to see and comment. the pond is going to be 13x9x4 in size it will be 1 foot in ground and 3 foot out of ground. i am going to be putting in a 8" base with a 18" round bottom drain going to 4" pipe. it will then feed a estro sieve and then pumped with a sequence 10000 pump into a new econobead 60 filter and then through a pro clear 55w uv and then back to pond mid water return. i am also going to fit a in wall skimmer which will be pumped with a sequence 10000 pump again i think back to a high return in the pond. the pond will be built with concrete blocks laid flat and then rendered and then fitted with a liner. any questions please ask or any advise please say.

Looking great Mark , no advice, just enjoying watching your build !
I haven't got a bottom drain myself, so am interested in others experience too.
It looks a good size and wish I'd made mine bigger now....maybe an 'extension' next year
