Not much to see really. I just put a smaller pump in the pump chamber.
Here's a pic of when I put it on the top of the prefilter media:

But now I run water thru the pre-filter, thru one bio-chamber and into the
pump chamber where the tubing, connected to the smaller pump w/o mesh
baskets, comes out the top and over to the ponds:

Very low tech. ;-) Due to a slight grade everything self drains back to the
pond or filter, so I don't have to worry about freeze ups during a power
outage.

In hindsight this is not how I would do things if rebuilding, we would
figure out an underground way to by-pass the waterfall.

At last, we all make do as we learn. ;-) ~ jan
