So i get home from work let the dogs out back and wait for them to do there business. I glance at my pond and my heart dropped. it was almost empty.

You see I had added some mechanical filtration to the filter last night right at the waterfall. Apparently my addition was an epic fail and the water instead of returning to the pond simply rolled off the back of the falls and down the side yard.
luckily for me my pond pump breaks suction at 3ft deep. the deepest part of the pond is 5ft deep. so my 13" and 16" common plecos were still okay when I fished them out and plopped them in my 125g.
So I guess I'm digging the pond deeper and redoing the filtration sooner than later lol
