A bit bright for good photos today, but I cropped what wasn't "bleached" by the sun.

Once all rock was placed, the evaporation caused only a 4" drop today on a 90 degree day. That without the autofill, which I put into the valve box with a shut off float switch. I clamped those onto a pvc stand that I put in the box, and ran the upright pvc post / pipe through a drilled hole in the lid. That's for in case the pump ever tweaks slightly, so it doesn't dislodge the shut off or autofill.

I had a miniature recycling system once, a ceramic pot over a hidden 50 gallon drum. It stayed clear for a year without any filters or cleaning. Of course no leave could get into it.
