I also would agree w/the masses here and say 'no' to gravel. What I did was
put some flat rocks in - I was able to purchase them at my local garden
supply place by the pound. I was calling it slate until I learned it was
just flat cut field stone :-)

Hi,

I've just finished building a small pond using a liner, but I'm not sure
if
it's a good idea to put gravel in the bottom or not. Being a tropical fish
keeper, it seems the natural thing to do, and I think it will look better,
but will it be a pain to keep clean?

Any thoughts much appreciated.


Mike
