Side view of water fall

Their will be a pond at the top of the water fall about a foot and half in diameter. Their will also be a fountain filter at the top. It will start about 2 feet up and work its way down through three pools and end in a small stream which will carry the water about two feet and drop it into the pond. And I am still looking for a good filter pump to pump the water to the top.
Heres the Foutain Filter Im looking at.

Seems like a nice design! So are you gonna stock it with koi and lillypads?
I like the arial view design, and the waterfall idea.
Hope it turns out good! thumbs2:

What are the dimensions going to be. If its going to be out in the open, depending on where you live it need to be 3 ft deep. Kritters will scarf your live stock. Laguna pumps and filters are great for waterfall set-ups. Keep us posted.
