Thx buddy

Here some updates....

So after a lot of searching for a plastic bin with rotten luck I ended up building one in place with cement rings to hold the bog weight with a volume of 210G.... Well this is the best i could manage... I hope it holds good. With a big enuf outlet the turnover rate will be higher and the sound of the waterfall is going to be louder as well . Anywayz, lets see how it turns out. Today, I also managed to get the drain mesh painted as i didnt want this to be a eye sore in the pond. The missed part of the drain which was undelivered by the supplier was DIY'd as well.
Now that the major works are done I have to wait on the pond walls to be dry enuf to start with the liner installation sourcing of the pumps, the rock works and filter media and such....

Ok now when I was going through Luc's thread I realised I haven't given the air pipe connected to the drain pipe. The connection for the bottom drains are connected directly to the settling tank without any air pipe. Not sure if I need this :|.
Anybody here can guide me on this. If it is dire necessity then I still have time to dig the pipe out and fix an air pipe. If not I carry on with the installation.
Need advise ASAP

And for the progress.... received my pumps today. The main pump is of 6800gph and the top skimmer is rated at 950gph.

I have continued with the build as it is. I just hope it works out fine
Today I got most of the work done. The liner is in place. Only the rock works and lighting to be done for tmrw.... So hopefully I can start with the filling soon after.
Here are some pics for the day






I must say... thats one helluva job to do this lining of a pond....

Cheers
