How about if I run black gas pipe out to the the back end of the pond, put on a valve there, then something like icemaker tubing into the pond so that gas bubbles up near the center, then light it. I wouldn't run it all the time, but it'd be a cool effect for parties. Would there be any adverse repercussions to the fish? Mike I think the bubbles would be too intermittent to hold the flame unless you were running more gas than you'd care to. (Unless you use a bubble diffuser?) Maybe run the pipe almost to the surface so there's more of a steady gas stream? That'd cut down on the water/gas interaction, too, in case of any adverse reactions with the pond environment. Cybe R. Wizard -/wants/ to see it in action! LPG forms a flammable mixture when mixed with air. The flammable range at ambient temperature and pressure extends between approximately 2 % of the vapour in air at its lower limit and approximately 10 % of the vapour in air at its upper limit. Within this range there is a risk of ignition. Outside this range any mixture is either too weak or too rich to propagate flame. However, over-rich mixtures can become hazardous when diluted with air and will also burn at the interface with air.
