Only it seems when I do not have a camera it seems....LOL

I think my fish are a bit shy yet...they really have had a hard time the last two weeks with all the moves and then there was the water-change-of-death that they had to suffer....

And then two days ago I had to track down the water leak..

so it may be a while before they trust me to feed from my hand again...

I feed them now in the upside down aquarium as a way to teach them to always go up there when they see me...
 
I went with just a very small amount of gravel along the bottom of the pond.
I didnt want too much because everyone warned me that it would cause me trouble in the future.
However my koi seem to enjoy the chance to dig around and search for lost foods amoung the rocks so I gave them a little to play with.

I also think it's nice to know where the bottom is and the gravel shows you that..
(It also hides a few things that might show up if there was no gravel around)

It also looks like you have air bubbles going into the tank.
Is that not pushing out the water thats already in it??

OK, here is the truth about that...

I Dont Want You to Understand Right Away...LOL

The main reason for my whole "Aquaripond" design is that I want you to not really understand how it works????

I want you to look and have a question about one thing or another..

Most people dont understand how I get the water to stay up there?
But you know how right?
The people that know how I do that, well I still want them people to be stumped by the air flowing up into the upside down tank, "YET it never changes the water levels of anything???"

I want you to be stumped!

One of the things I want to have in the future is to have an airstone sitting in the bottom of the top smaller 15gal tank.
I want this airstone for two reasons:
Reason #1 is that it may help fool the eye and get people to believe the air flowing in the lower tank is the same air flow seen in the upper tank, and so this might give the idea it's a just one big tank.

Reason #2 is that the people that understand it's two different tanks stacked bottom-to-bottom will see the airstone in the upper tank and this will lead them to be even more stumped by the airflow up in the lower 20gal tank that does not change the water level??
I want them to see the top air stone and so they will be tricked into believeing that there also is a airstone in the lower tank thats unseen....

I want you to believe that air flow in the upside down tank is from a normal airstone....even if it's not...LOL

It works very well thanks.
Im able to have tons and tons of bubbles if I want, or I can turn it down and only have a few...yet it Never changes the hight of the water in the aquarium or pond

I got a 2000 gph underwater pump from Manards

I had to get it, and where I live thats about all I could hope to see for a while in stores.
They dont even have them on the shelves yet, I had to ask them to go get it...
The stock boy just looked at me and asked, "it's still a little cold for a pond no?"
