Nope, the cultured stone will not fall off as concrete is used to hold them up.
The total gallon in pond and filter is about 800.;)
Sure hope that helps

I was commenting on the cultured stone only because the colors they use on them can come off... since they are made of concrete they are grey. I wouldnt worry bout um falling off.. and the color coming off prolly isnt that big a deal anyway...so little at a time. :)
Anyway Great job.. :clap I wanna doo one!!!
800 gallon !! very cool I was gunna guess alot more!!
