Afraid not! This is at my folks house. Built it just after leaving university. Now I've moved into my own place I'm digging a new pond - a lot less fancy but better designed to be low maintenance and grow koi on. Will be bigger gallonage too, about 5,500gallons. The weather and being really busy at work has made me stop the build for a while though but once the night's draw out a bit I'll crack on. Nearly dug out enough to laye the floor of the filter house, then I can hire a digger to dig out the pond.

Hi Scotty,
Hey it was so long ago i had forgotten about that pump
OK from left to right so we don't get confused the Blue pump on the left is for the waste only as this is all pumped to waste and then you have the Sequence 750 which was on the skimmer line and then there was a Sequence 1/6 which was replaced for a Sequence 750 as the old pump was to fast for the set up.
There is a few changes from when fist built but you spotted the pumps straight off
