So I bought a pond today 
which is actually a cattle water through converted to a pond 
. The problem was that I had to take the fish with the pond also. I was planning on fixing the "pond" because there were two bolts going through that had small leaks. SO after rummaging through my excess lose ends I have come up with the ideal 2 for 1 "temporarily permanent because I'm busy building my bigger pond solution.
I got two smaller round plastic ponds and filled them with water. Then I got a sump pump with filter and placed it in the larger of the two ponds. I THEN ran a 2'' flex tube from one pond to the other. So heres how it goes. Water is sucked through the mechanical filtration from POND1 and dumped into POND2. The water 2" tube then transfers water back to POND1 Via the whole "water seeks its own level theory" like in a P trap on your air conditioning drain line.
So as great as this sounds I'm sure there are some problems that will occur with this system. Any suggestions or comments and improvements are recommended before I find my 15 shibunkins, 2 koi and 1 silver dollar sleeping.
