Well got home the other day and my pump wasn't pumping. My impeller broke so off I go to the store. 288 dollars later I have a 2600 gallon pump which is an up grade from my 1200( atleast thats what I think it is) pump. Get her goin and everything is good. Next morning my filter is overflowing and I lost 4 inches of water. So I back off the main valve to dirrect the water through the uv which is smaller tubing to slow the flow. All is good now :lol:

Good to hear you got it fixed. 288 seems kind of high. Did you have to get new piping too?
Yea probably was but I didn't have the luxury to shop around.

Michael Angelo's David would be a nice water feature and provide plenty of oxygen to your pond :confused:

I always told my wife I wanted a naked lady statue spilling water into the pond.

There was one in that plant thread about AAG. They had a lady pouring water in the pond and it looked very nice.

Since copper is toxic to fish and plants. Would a bronze statue be safe to use? I could't see it leaching enough.
