Hey Judy,

Thanks for the kind words.

I have a submerged pump in the middle of the pond (Oasis Optimax 15000),
pipe going up over the rim and then under the ground again.

Picture 1 is where you should see the pipe come up, only thing is you don't
;-) (That's the hole idea right...) I had to be inventive with some
rocks and watermint.

Picture 2 is where it goes back down and under the ground. (pipe is right
onder the frog statue)

Picture 3 is the current state of the filter system.

I have 3 more submerged pumps feeding a smaller filter and basically making
sure the water is moving/rotating all the time.

If I had to do it again (like next year ...) I would dig/build my own filter
and work with 2 bottom drains/gravity fed system.

The rocks are "Alpine Verde" which are basically green rocks from the
French/Swiss Alps.

HTH,

Theo
