Ok so heres the story that led up to the destruction of my pond. Verizon has been putting fiber optic lines through the rich neighborhoods of Voorhees NJ. But being southern Nj its very hilly and sandy they had problems. They used this machine called a ditich witch that dug a path under peoples yards so they can run the lines under ground where everything is . Well fall 2008 they ran a line through the hill in my back yard and under my pond. Being late fall we already drained and winterized the sprinkler system in my parents yard. Well just today being a nice day and putting down grass seed for the spring we turned on the sprinkers. Verizon had hit a major sprinker zone that fall casuing all the water under the pond to totally mess up the under ground box which kept the uv and outlet box for the pond. Pond also became uneven due to the sand being washed away on the sides and under. The stone work just became a mess. This pond was present for my parents a couple years ago. The good thing is that I did want to redo the whole thing so now I have the chance. I have been wanting to make my own filter and setup a new water fall. Im not sure what kind of filter and I was hoping for help. I have done research which has led to more confusion on what I should do filter wise. So if I can have your opions or ideas I greatly appericate it. Thank you.
Heres some pics of the mess . Luckly I have the fish Inside in a kiddy pool in my garage for now.

then use 55 gallon drums for filtration, you could do it with that it just might be overkill. you could always build a rock wall around one and have it be behind your waterfall. there is a sticky on 55 gallon drum filters.
You should give them a call and see if they'll offer any compensation.
