Here's a rock fountain my husband and I made from salvaged pond rubber from a job.our only cost was a $40.00 dollar pump from home-depot.We already had the rocks from our trips to the mountians.
It's still a work in progress,will add more plants and fish.

Really nice job. I'm assuming you drilled a hole in each of the rocks & inserted a tubing of some sort. What type of drill & bit was used? We've tried drilling rocks & had nothing but trouble.

we have used Bosch Hammer Drill with a 5/8 of an Inch bit, so a half inch copper pipe can fit to the hole, if you turn the rocks while putting it on the copper pipe, it makes it easier. You may want to pour water over the rock while drilling so as not to overheat the bit
