~ Love all those layers and pools in a waterfall/stream ! (pics)
« on: October 14, 2007, 08:54:11 AM »
   Here is a pond RETRO REBUILD I dabbled with last month.  All she had before was this trickle of a small 9foot stream barely a foot wide !!! The bio filter was so LOW-- that her biggest spill was 4inhes high !??!?!  I came in with the idea of increases the current real estate of the area, maximizing on sound and falls.  You know me... I had to install lights for that perfect evening look ;)  Now she can enjoy it from her adjacent patio-- and though the windows of the living room ~  Enjoy

Looks great Carlos.  What kind of underwater lighting are you using?

       thanks all for the nice words.... I use the metal brass housing lights here : http://www.ccl-light.com/docs/outdoor/underwater/index.html   Excellent , heavy brass,... tough glass lens... able to tweak out from different watts for specific depths when lighting... big leads from the light... shielded cord... well worth a little more on the light up front... for years of working light.  LOVE EM !! On this one... I used 10w and 20w for these shallow pools.
