I finally went out and took some pictures with the older version digital a
friend gave me when they upgraded. I'm off to figure out photobucket, but
may come here for help. ~ jan

Your model will work really well for the parrots feather on the
surface of my upflow barrels on the berm. I used to rest my top
plants on the bags of filter strapping tape, but I am taking them out
as the roots of the veggie filter plants provide more than enough
surface for bacteria. I had also hung trays for the plants. I like
the floatation much better.

Thanks

Jim

I also have a basket in the top of my prefilter. These floating baskets
also work well for putting one's stock tank heater in during the winter to
keep the fish away from the element. ~ jan

I'm here. I'm a baaaaad ponder.
So that means I'm a bad rec.ponder.mod

I didn't get any watercress this year but that
is probably because of all the hornwort in the
pond and the fact the waterfall is turned off
which reminds me you reminded me that
I should put an airstone in and I forgot so
I'm full circle to being a bad ponder and
I will get that airstone in today!!!!!!!!!

btw the island is kewl.

k :-))

Not just yet! I do like the idea of using the insulation to get the
basket to float and might copy the idea if I ever my my filter working
again.

Thanks, I kind of thought so. When my DH got them for my B-day 5 years ago,
he was a little surprised when I said, oh boy, no holes, and turned them
into mini water gardens... and then he said, why was I surprised? ;-) ~ jan
