Help filter too small .sos. Can't Post

hi all ;

I just build a pond in front of my house, (locate at west) . The pond size is around 12 x 6 x 2 ft, filter is 3x3x2 ft ( I know is too small Crazy). I have a waterfall around 5 ft high, there are space for me to hide a (TT / Skippy / Both).

My problem Pirate

1) Too shallow
2) No bottom drainage system.
3) Filter too small.

I need help on the pump (urgently) I come across a pump 4000 L/hr (made in taiwan) and 7500L/hr (made in Italy). Which one is better for my pond design? I plan to have 4 output ( 3 to waterfall 1 to blow the bottom debris) might need more output for TT / Skippy.

Thinking of using 2 pump , one is for waterfall (might need to off during midnight) another one is for filter.

Any advise for all the sifu / guru ?

Will update the photo this few day. currently the pond is soak with water to test for leakage.

For your pond size, I would suggest you get the bigger pump.
It would be even better if you place two pumps in your last chamber (I assume your filter is gravity feed), 1 for waterfall and the other to a TT before returning to the pond.

Cheers!

I had tried on the 7.5k l/hr too bad the water is slow for my waterfall coz i have 3 output ... Now i am using the 12kl/hr pump look good.
I will install my DIY TT this saturday ... hope it can help to improve the water quality ...

post some photo of my pond ... happy viewing
