Activity Stream

The engineer in me is thinking I could setup a overflow recovery and pump from there as needed ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At my current main pond size - it would take around 270 gallons to lower by 1”. But if I assume my stream is average of 5’ wide and 50’ long and .5’...

:thumb: Knowing what will happen and having the overflow and auto fill is all that's really needed. My pumps suck air sometimes as everything...

Great progress! :thumb: How much flow do you anticipate you'll have to create the waterfall? It looks to be 3' or 4' wide? One earlier picture ...

Still keeping an eye out for Hariwake, was waiting for some from Aoki or Marusaka (I think they are the farms that produce mostly metallics), this...
