Hello,
I did this about two years ago in order to take a lot of tile/linoleum off plywood subfloor. I bought a commercial scraper blade and reground it by trial and error.
I found the angle varied with the hardness of the glue. Hard glue required an angle above 35 degrees, but much higher dug...
If indeed there is inflow/outflow for the pond, a hydraulic ram, as suggested by SincoTC, is a good solution. Their energy efficiencies run almost 50% and they really do last almost forever. Typical results may be found here

You might also look at flamespraying a metal coating onto the ceramic. I have done that in the past; it's a little tricky but gives a nice surface. Ceramic on metal is straightforward, but metal on ceramic can crack unless you find a shop with experience. There's still the question of brazing...
The question is already answered, but I'd like to add a comment on why it's important to always use good judgement and have an awareness of actual manufacturing tolerances (By the way, many packages allow you to keep the "exact" dimension hidden and that's a really good idea). I recently worked...
Mike,
I had a similar kind of problem of interlocking 6 spiral coils by twisting, tilting, and sliding. The complexity simply overwhelmed the machine/software capability and each step in physical dynamics would take maybe 2 minutes or so. I ended up handling it by doing one coordinate at a time...
Ken,
When you do the rectangle, triangle test, go back to Feature Manager and RMB the SECOND extrude and Edit Feature to see the merge box. The first extrude does not offer a merge option since there is nothing to merge.
