Sounds like a great plan Mike. This will allow the client to remove the tank from the front structure when necessary. Attempting this tomorrow. : )

<p>Best bet would be to build a CMU wall around the tank using 8x8x8 blocks and then adding your structure and texture coats to the block. </p>
<p>Dry stack more block in the front creating a ramp. Higher on the sides. Structure coat those, Place your PVC liner on top of the dry structure coat and adding more concrete to the liner locking it in. </p>
<p>Texture the front fall or wet set flagstone, river rock creating the fall.</p>

<p>Yo Chad, Ive had a pond for bout 19 years that I built myself. I would be more than happy to help you but I need a few more details and perhaps a few pictures too. My first thought would be to design the falls the way you want then rework the plumbing of the bio-filter to fit?</p>
<p>FYI My pond has Piranha in it... No Japanese carp for this guy!</p>
