We use a company out of Fort Worth for the tank heads (Baker tank heads?). You can Google search tank heads for a source close to you. This is a 72" diameter head. Under the gravel is a vault made of cinder box which is sealed and water
proofed. Not sure about the pump. A good pump company can help you spec the proper size for this

Add WaterI bet you don't think of water as necessary for butterflies, but it is. You won't see them sipping from a pond or pool like birds, though, as they slurp droplets. This is why a fountain or other water feature that splashes a bit is important, as the action creates nearby butterfly-size mud puddles and drops to easily drink from. You can incorporate such a feature in almost any landscape design, from formal to informal.
Not sure how much water, but I can tell you that the basin is approximately 5'x5'x4' deep. We keep it 3/4 full of water.
Thanks for all your info!
