Pond v10 – Early Summer

As mentioned previously, the plants are lagging due to late start, but that lily really took off. It seems to like deeper water, quite happy in it’s new location. Only issue still being worked is level management. Evaporation rates swing pretty wildly between cool nights and blistering hot sunny days. A needle valve modulates the water supply, with the smallest crack I can get being a bit too slow, and anything more a bit too much. It seems to use around 3GPH on average, and I can only get 2 or 4 out of the needle valve.

So the overall effect makes the sump either always slowly rising or falling. Ideally, it would be rising at night and falling during the day. Anybody know if there’s some sort of more accurate metering valve I could use?
