300 gallon pond

[ihasanzongi]

hello everyone, I'v moved back to my home town after school and have been moving my pond from my parents house to my new house. The pond is a 300gal. rubber maid tub that I dug in the ground, and the top filer is a 60 gal tub I think. But anyways here are some pics I took while digging/setting up.

I hope I got all of those attachments right, thats where the pond is at today, im playing on a little spillway/waterfall from the filter into the pond.

I was about to urn my monitor sideways but then decided it wasn't worth it.

Haha yeah looks good...but you might want to install it horizontally not vertically...not sure how the water will stay in there with it like that . One big piece of advice I would give you that I chose not to take from another member and wish I had...make the lip of the tub at least 2 inches above the ground-level. I installed mine flush and while I didn't have a big issue with stuff running into it, with the weight of the water over time it has settled in a couple inches and now all of my surrounding flagstone leans. Raise it up a little bit and surround it with some small gravel or something to place your flagstone on-top and keep them level and keep stuff from washing into the pond.

hey guys, thanks for the info on putting it flush, I found out the hard way. We had a large rain storm and my pond now looks like a murky river lol. I changed some stuff around, and im going to upload some pics I took tonight in a bit. hopefully I can fix this 90 degree problem
