I MADE it!!! It is a construction of wire mesh and cement, then I mosaiced it and grouted it! I make garden art as one of my hobbies, mostly mosaiced stuff but some stained glass at Christmas time.It is sitting between the pond and a soil filled bog garden, that I have planted some Brugmansias,canna,irises, pond plants and pond lilies.

So this is a 1600 gal pond and I just bought a brand new pump that handles 2400gph, goes to the cyprio2000uv filter, then out the rock tunnel, which only about a foot lift maybe a bit more, but the flow is very strong and I was wondering if I should put a valve before the filter to slow the flow down? Suggestions...plus it is very loud(louder than I want)

So the last few days I have spray foamed the waterfall(Got it all over myself/clothes/castle), added my 5 fish and 4 more I bought!lol! And added a valve to slow down the water flow. And noticed the uv light quit(bought 2nd hand filter/pump...sheesh! Now a uv bulb to replace! Buying 2nd hand is not working for me! (Had spent $125 on non working pond pumps(both calpumps).Plus went and bought paint and wood to finish the pergola...this pond obsession is getting me nickled and dimed!! Today the fish were going crazy!!! I had noticed that one of my fish was really fat and looking beat up, and they have been in the pond 48hrs and checked on them this morning and they were chasing the fat one and were digging up the gravel in the pond plants(2-4 inches under the water)...even surfacing a lot!!! What a show to watch with my morning coffee!!! WOW!
