got some more walling around the edge done today, also trying the Easter Island Head Statues out on where to put them






a week on with the pump and filters working and we still have what looks to be like a bubble bath.. the water does seem to be clearing though, well, on the parts you can see it through the foam bubbles.

faces could look cool, I think there's too many too close together at the bottom. Wall looks cool though

very much so but better than the ghome with the fishing rod or the statue of the woman with the arms missing lol


even sadder.. i went out last night to get some 'night time' shots




quite pleased with the use of 'rock light' spot lights which are high lighting the water drops in the waterfall, also high lighting the top part where the 'male' easter island head is.

Very very nice mate, liking the Easter Island heads. You can speed up the mossy aged effect by diluting plain yogurt and spraying them with a spray bottle.
