Thank you all VERY much for your feedback! Sure is draining slow thus far after two hours of taking the stand pipe out of the bottom drain pipe connection. We'll see tomorrow if anything has changed. It was easy to keep it open when the stand pipe was in place, but I'm a little concerned now as I cannot see the bottom pipe opening to make sure it is not blocked, potentially resulting overflowing.
...Always something.
Looking forward to more progress on this pond. Good things take time, I know.
