<heading lvl="0">Abstract of Disclosure</heading> Filtering skimmers for ornamental ponds are provided that more effectively conceal the filtering skimmer to improve the appearance of the ornamental pond, and/or allow a filtering element to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. The filtering skimmer may include a conduit that projects laterally away from the sidewall of the filtering skimmer and defines a ledge onto which materials may be deposited to conceal the inlet of the filtering skimmer. In another aspect, an elongated extension tube provides a fluid passageway from an ornamental pond to the filtering skimmer inlet to facilitate better concealment of the filtering skimmer. In a further aspect, the filtering skimmer has opposing internal channels for retaining a substantially planar filtering element in a vertical orientation, and structure for supporting a filtering element in an alternative horizontal orientation.
