This sounds like a workable solution for the rock bottom ponds. It would
work much more like the undergravel filters of aquariums since you would be pulling water through and then filtering, etc. One caution would be to put sufficient support under the grates to be able to walk on the rocks.You never know when you will have to get in to rearrange pots, catch fish, etc. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Courageous" wrote in message ... We are with the no rocks cohort. They don't give you all that much surface as compared to plant roots. Easy clean bottom is overwhelmingly best. As an aside, my pond build will featuring a sort of false bottom; think egg crates (small pallets really) raised off the bottom, with small flat stones on top of them to hide the egg crates. This is because I want to create a hiding place for certain species that are shy. The design features the bottom drain pulling from under the rocks; my theory here is that small bits of detritus will be pulled to the settling tank. I really have no idea how it will work out. Just this whacky idea I have. Note how if it doesn't work out, the whole thing can just be removed. I then I have a flat bottomed pond. C// |
