Sorry about the vanishing act with the photos, i must have moved them around and off they went. Here however are the first ice formations that have occured. I have decided to try and keep the stream running all winter, i am looking forward to seeing how the ice and snow impacts the stream.G -----------I STILL MUST DO FINAL LINER ADJUSTMENTS, AND PLANTING IN THE SPRING.

Really cool. :notworthy:clap:
Have the heron been back?
I see the brass buddy there.

Leaving it run may prove a costly
experiment though.
Neither the pipes nor the pump
will like having ice form inside.
At some point the water will cease
to exist as a liquid. :laughing:

No sign of the Heron, we only have small fish left, so the Heron is not as interested. Regarding your concerns about freezing, i was assuming that as long as i can keep it running constantly, it could not freeze enough to compromise the system. Am i wrong? G

looks really good.

If I buy the stuff will you come and show me how to do this?

I'm a lot like your brass bird there. I notice that in every pic he is in he is setting on his ass. Just don;t have the get up and go to take on a project like that.

The end of the run; why didn't you make a larger pond there. A pond looks more natural and if large enough can have fish.

(hey guys, if this works, I'll let you know so you can get gene to build a stream for free at your house too!!!)

What kind of liner material did you use??? Have you looked at using Polyurea over Geotextile? Work looks great. I do some stuff with a high ranked Koi Pond builder on the West side of the US. They do some big pond work. Keep up the good work.
