Lots of Rocks and plants work well and look good .

with a stocktank you can set it right at ponds edge and pile dirt around it and plant it up. or cover the mound with weed cloth and stone. ... no need to build up any structure to hold the filter. the top of my filter mound is only 22" above the waters surface.

you fill the top of the filter with floating plants and the whole thing virtually disappears!!
