To increase oxygenation, I gave up on just having a trickling waterfall and put in a self-designed-and-created, surface rippler. As anticipated, the fish are happier (they are alive and swimming, does that equal fish happy?) An unexpected benefit from this horizontal spray across the surface of the pool is the increased moisture on the opposite side. This spring the mosses are simply showing out. I don't know what type, just know I'm pleased as punch they took up residence. I am especially pleased with what has happened to the cedar stump (snag, I'm not really sure what one calls a dead cedar tree root with a bit of stump).

Of course, I've more pictures but haven't yet figured out how to display more than one, I think that is done in the journal section but I'm new around this site and just learning my way slowly but surely. I'm glad I found Dave's Garden.
