      Not sure what your asking. Are your asking about the dish that the water is coming out of?

      Yes. I think I understand the hidden basin, pump, rock, "vase"/pot. But I don't know what the top is called to try to find something like that locally (ky) thank you

      You could do a Google search for "Tank heads" and see if there are any manufactures or suppliers near by.

      Steel tank head is the disk on top, then a local welder create the cylindrical steel tube which the tank head was then welded to.

      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.
