Stream Building, Page 10

Phil and wife Amy come out to take a look. AND THE WATER FLOWETH!

Grand daughter Anna comes for a photo-op on the "step across" rock

Neighbor Cathy loves it! " The sound changes from every angle! I love it! "

Close-ups of upper portion of falls. The askew rocks within the waterflow, create natural eddies and breakwaters. The sloping water course steps look like natural rocks, worn away by years of erosion.

~ Last day on the project! A exciting one, as the fish can go back to their new improved home and I can go out and party at night without GREATSTUFF stuck to my hands!?! :P

Installed the floor scrubber pads in the barrel filter. They rest on a "table" made from 1/2inch pcv pipe. I used those 3 slip fit couplers to create a joined "square" of pvc and then added legs to it out of pvc. Since the barrel is 24inches in diameter- I chose 24inch floor scubbers... perfect fit

Meanwhile, Phil was busy securing rock around the base of a newly added Umbrella Palm. We added some moss rock around the pump to disguise it as well.**Notice the check valve. Placed near the pump for easy maintenance, being underwater it will algae up and be hard to see.
