I'm thinking about buying a new variable speed pump. (http://www.pentairpoo
l.com/pool-pro/products/product.php?idv) My thinking is that I can set
it to move less water at night, saving electricity and more when I'm out th
ere enjoying the pond. Any opinions?

Interesting concept. Not sure exactly which pump I should click on or if
the WhisperFlo pictured was it?
Sounds good if your idea of slow isn't starving the filter or fish of O2.
I use 2 pumps, one for the season, and one for winter, but I'm sure
plugging them in and out is what you're trying to avoid. ~ jan

If a waterfall is your main source of oxygenation, then night is when the plants use
oxygen and if there is green water, lots of algae, that is when the plants can use up
all the oxygen if the water is really warm, then the fish will die.
