Hubby and I built a Skippy filter (many thanks to whomever posted the
URL!) last Saturday, and today we can see the bottom of the 3.5-4 foot
deep pond, even though the water is brownish from the barley straw
pellets I put in the veggie filter Sunday!

Oh joy! I can now see my fish!

Now, to build another one this weekend for my goldfish pond!

Whoops, wrong thread. No for the Rubbermaid tank.
