ok, just briefly but u should take sometime going through the postings at the site and get comments from the rest as mine is not absolute perfect...
(a) First, identify which end will be the filter and allocate 1/3 for the filter chambers
(b) Before u build the wall, make sure u (if u need to), hack the floor/ bottom for drainage at the main pond to flow into the first chamber
(c) Also, when u build the wall separating the main pond, make sure u have a few hole for (1) surface skimmer (it has to be below the water level 6" below, (2) hole to allow a pump at the last chamber so that u can attach a pump to the main pond and lastly another as standby (u can use it to put a pipe through for the bottom air ring in the main pond (if u want to have it) - only 1 hole to the first chamber and 2 at the last chamber
(d) u need 3 chambers of equal size
(e) the chambers - if u can again, hack the first chamber bottom and try to make a V shape bottom so that u can place a sump in the middle so that the waste from the main pond into the 1st chamber can be easily flush out (u need to do piping to include a valve and to be attached to a pump and ultimately to the drain. Remember to also have a 'overflow" pipe (at the top level of your water) so that excess water will automatically flow out. This can be at the main pond as well but thought since ur pond already ready, its easier to do it at the filter chamber
(f) whether updown or otherwise - u decide
(g) second chamber - nothing much to be done but if u use updown - also try to make the floor/bottom slanting towards the 1st chamber so that waste down get stuck there
(h) 3rd and last chamber (of course best to have 4 but with your size 3 will do fine) - u can place your pumps here and all the valves
Once u complete the construction, let us know and we will advise on the materials which is quite standard .....
gang, any other comments coz i may missed out something...
