I've read how waterlilies dislike flowing water. Can I install a small
water fountain in a tub with a Chromatella? another one with a James
Brydon. Or does it have to be absolutely still? thanks

For the purposes of water lilies, treat any garden pond as "still". You
can't get enough _flow_ of water through the pond to bother them. The
fountain, though, is a bit different. They'll be fine if the water
fountain isn't actually spraying the lily, but you'll not get many blooms
if the lily is continuously being rained on.
