As far as filtration, I am still learning. One of the guys on here is the filtration expert, so you will have to wait for him to chime in for the really good information.

The pond forum isn't that busy, try reading the old threads to get a good idea. I know there are some good building links out there, but I can't remember any offhand.

I can help a bit. With a pond like that, i would use a skimmer and a biofalls, from aquascape. THis can get expensive, so i would by their new, smaller ponds. I just got one, it is about 1300 gallons, couple hundered less than 1K, and it comes with literally everything you will need. This is the largest size, there are two smaller ones.
