Great pond!!!!! Best of luck!I'm not sure I know what you mean by my outlet to the pool. My three bottom drains go to a settling tank with filter matting and brushes. Then to a 5,000 pump that pushes the water to the pipes at the bottom of the bog. The water will then flow up through the rocks and roots of the plants, between the large rocks of the retaining wall and over to the pool part. Each skimmer will have a 3000 pump that will push water to its own watterfall. First flowing up through the 55 gallon barrells. I'm hopeing that the 2" pipe at the top will be large enough so that it doesn't overflow out of the barrel. Then the waterfall will be a drippy planted rock wall filled with ferns and orchids. Drippy in the sense that the water won't be falling with just one stream of water.
We did just did the last of the sealing with pure concrete and I think the guys are going to start with the ceramic bottom. The rainy season just started so the days have to be planned carefully. We also put the niche in for the big light.
this is truly a monster build
if you don't mind me asking what do you do for a living and I love the pygmy you hired

I'm a personal trainer. I know, "what the hell am I building this pond for in the middle of a world crises". It seems to me that the upper class usually stays there even in time of crises. I happen to train some of that upper class in Costa Rica.
They're starting to put on the ceramic tile for in the deeper part. I hope they hurry because on my way to work I took these next pictures. The rainy season is officially here. Now we've got about 8 months of rain with about a two week dry spell in the middle. It usually rains about 6 feet annually. I hope that when I get home tonight that my pond isn't already full of water.

Rock on go for the primo gusto grande
