Re: New Pond W Stream Pics

Really quite original as to the well wall trap door idea

Now I know that you've already compacted the soil/dirt (right)? Thoughts of the filtration system (carbon or sand filter)? Any fish in the ponds future? Adding main drains to those 2 skimmers or separate main drains at the lowest part of the stream/pond? Branching off the return lines at different levels with valves will give the water more or less motion,stepping down with ledges to create a waterfall or babbling brook effect, adding a rope with a bucket with a hand crank. I was going to add some stereo speaker imitation boulders with low voltage lighting too, but thought I'd only do that

Just covering some bases just in case...make it a wishing well to toss some coins into for your labor and materials

Can't wait to see the end result, thanks for keeping us informed on progress! Does this mean the garage is done?

Re: New Pond W Stream Pics

got this great system, it will fit perfect after i chop out the front, it will feed water from the bottom, then pass through lava rock, and filters before overflowing out
