ive done a new measurement on my arowana and my catfish...and my arowana turns out to be 14" and my catfish ends up at 7"
Buckets, 55g containers, trash bins are very commonly used in the pond filters. Check out www.koiphen.com for a lot of DIY filters. When I build my 1,000g tank I am going to used 55g containers as my filters.
do you guys think this is enough filtration? just the 2 55 gallon buckets or barrels on both ends of the pond and having a larger filter that looks like a canister but is not really one...thats meant for s 4,000 gallon pond?

I would say it depends on the layout of the pond. I would say more along the lines of six total barrels are needed. One is for a skimmer circuit and the other for a bottom drain. The first would be your mechanical filtration and the next two would be bio. Check out the link I posted above for what the koi folks do. Their fish might be docile, but they're ponds and filtrations systems are works of art.
