I awoke this morning and as every morning I went outside for a quick trip to
the pond to feed the fish while coffee is making. To my horror not the usual
nice sounds of water running down the falls, but the gurgling of a submersed
pump in an just about empty pond. Fortunately there was about 3" of water
left for the fish. I filled it back up and the fish are doing fine. Even
with all this new water I still have murky water.

Last night we had tornado warnings resulting in bad lightening and rain
storm. Filter material I placed in the falls to clean some of the smaller
particles got turned around and caused the falls to run over.

What is really weird is I have dreams like this. I come out, the pond empty

Glad to see its not just me that worrys about these things. I ended up
buying a pump with a float switch on it: once the water gets down to
30cm or so, the pump cuts out.
