Oh waa waa waa, water features suck lol the problem with water features is that they are rarely planned out and tested well enough. They are easy if you keep a few things in mind, one being that you have to accept the fact that the water will go where IT wants, not where you want it to go. Another being that people tend to flow too much water, so it goes all over. Adding a backup flow control valve in the output tubing is so helpful because the flow control on most pumps sucks. This lets too much water flow and it gets everywhere. Respect the water, and it's power, test often, then test again, then test when the tank is complete, before you add plants. Adding items in the tank tends to change things. If all else fails and your water feature doesn't work as planned, work with it instead of trying to fix it.
