That sounds very imaginative and and all around great idea.
I suppose, if you wanted, you could do the same thing with any plastic
container with lots of holes in it, perhaps a plastic laundry basket for
a really big pond. Michael Fermanis

Actually it has to be the mesh type, very fine holes, anything that can get
thru is small enough not to impede the impeller, as the mesh baskets are
not filled with any media. The object is large surface area. ) ~ jan
