Is this setup going to run forever or is it just to supplement the pond once and a while? "I think I have a nibble" Homer Simpson 34ac natural lake

Nothing from 1 month ago to April We hit 6 pretty decent springs, 1 of them moved a 100' wide by 9' tall piece of earth over night Last edited by Huskerduck; 11/15/13 10:34 PM.
