fitting straight flange tank connector into raised block pond
i'm in middle of building a semi raised pond using 7N concrete blocks + liner
block works all done put im going to fit 2 1 1/2" returns to the pond
i just have couple questions do i fit the returns flush to the block work? just as you do with fibreglass and block construction
and one more thing should i have gone with 2inch returns?

return size depends on pond and pump size...
as for the pipework you need to finish with a flush flange to connect the liner like this.
plus whatever insulation, if you are using any i used 50mm celotex type.

Not the subject you are on I know . But 7600 liters .(1680 gallon) will a pod be enough to deal with that
