The pond was designed around a 6000 gallon per hour pump originally. It sounded like Niagara falls. The last pump was 4,000 GPH and almost perfect. With the high water flow the filters do a better job of keep the pond clean. The leaves and debris get gathered up in the filters.
We are hoping for a good toad orgy again. One year the toads were mating like a bad porn movie and we had zillions of tadpoles. They did a great job of eating all the alge and the fish ate tadpoles by the ton. We ended up with very few toads.
With the blue tailed skinks and the tiny little brown ground snakes it is a little patch of wildlife.
