Ahoy thar, Capt'n Skully!

You're right about adding sand to the epoxy. I skipped that step because I just wanted to get it sealed up first. But it says on the can that you can sprinkle it on as its curing to give it some grit. Next year or sometime when I re-coat it I will definitely do it. It's kind of slippery now.

I used a pond style waterfall pump. You can see it here: http://www.mdminc.com/Sequence_750.htm
I have it off to the side, and it's hooked up to a filter basket and a small above ground Hayward cartidge pool filter. It's working great so far and it's putting out a great volume of water for the waterfalls. I have the returns hooked up with valves so I can control the flow to each of the waterfalls or to the return inside the pond. The filter is working great - the water is cool and crystal clear. I think it's recycling the whole volume of water two or three times an hour. I've been in it twice today already!
