i dont have any pictures of the rest of the construction
things started moving to fast and i wanted to see how
the waterfalls came out. But anyways i will explain what
the rest of the biofilter was ...

From the last picture posted.

I got some plastic grating and cut 4 pices of 1/2 inch pvc pipe
about 3 inches long , drilled a hole through the end of each one
and fastend them to the grating with nylon ties for legs to hold the
grating up.

This grating is like what is in a 2' x4' floresent cealing light.

Cut a hole in the center for the water feed tube to pass up through.

slide the grating down in the tub then add about a foot thick of poly fill ( pillow stuffing )
in the tub. then i added a 18 inch round floor scrubbing/buffing disk on the top.

Thats it , im still wating on my bacteria (good guys) to add to the pond and it
will be completed.
