Hello,
As some ppl know, im gonna build a pond. And now im sorting equipments/pumps. well, my fav. place to shop for equipments is at biocare, bunut. (friendly staff, lots of equipments, complete test-kits & its cheaper) and im interested in this pump. its a resun brand, with a pumping capacity of 18,000ltrs/hr. it cost B$198. after asking for a discount, the salesgirl gave me $180. Anyone wants to mass buy this pump? im buying 2 pumps, if can get $150 each, i get 3 pumps. Maybe, if buy more can talk to the owner for a bigger discount. Or does anyone of you recommend a different pump.
Incase anyone miss my other post. My future pond size: 14 feet x 12 feet x 4.5 feet deep sloping to 4.7 feet. Thats about 20530-litres. Filter using skippy design filter (current pond using this filter set-up) and gonna go for the Trickle Shower filter set-up too. (aint no harm for over-filteration right?)
A few questions, for my pond setup, is 1 BD sufficient?
here's the spec of the pump if anyone interested http://www.resun-china.com/products/english/hslxqlsb%20B-001.htm
below is top view of my future pond plan. Filter section still drawing. here's a brief idea.
its a raised formal pond. 2-feet raised from ground. settlement, pump chamber is dug 12 inch deep, total height is 36 inches. Skippy filter is also dug 12-inch deep plus raised 36inch up. So total height of skippy is 48 inch/4-feet. (dimension is 36inch x 38.5inch x 48inch). TT is 75 inch length x 18 inch wide x 12 inch deep, and gonna stack 4 of them. Tell me any flaws on this set-up. (this is not a final design, still gathering all your experience and to be place here)

. Humm, back to the drawing board now. Now its Plan B, i have to twitch and reposition a few bits, hope fully i can still bring the water volume to be around 20K litres. and he also caution me, as the pond gna be deep. (thats 3 feet now, not raised
im have to deal with children issues). And explain his about the raised pond again but with a 1 foot raised position, i'll make that 1 half feet eh. any advices or ideas? 
the Raised Pond Plan will stay. Yeah, keeping ponds parameters in control are kinda my job. i do hydrocarbons & water testing everyday here at work, good pond conditions equals to happy healthy fish. Thats true, the more the water volume equals to less upset in the pond & more area for the fish to swim in.
