Thanks! I didn�t imagine it looking like that. Sometimes I wish I wouldn�t have even bothered with a overflow pipe. It could be a source for a leak. (Draining down around the outside of the pipe.)
I�m sure I have water going out my pipe now, but not a whole lot. I put in a 10� pipe, and I�ve never seen more than about a 2� deep stream flowing out the bottom. Water has never reached my emergency spillways. My guess is our next drought will be starting soon, and I�ll be hoping for water before too long.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
