2nd water feature question of the day
Hi
I was thinking of having a large pot, with a pump in the bottom, and filled with pebbles, so the water gurgles over them. What sort of pump should I use? Is a basic pond pump ok? I think B&Q have one for £15-£20. As there are no fish (or other wildlife) should I add chlorine to the water to stop algae building up? -- Cheers Ben |

2nd water feature question of the day
teeny weeny little pump will do, I bought a bamboo feature in Bangkok and
they gave me a tiny little thing for 50p which goes fine. You can buy special preparation for water features without fish in garden or aquatic shops. It's made by Hozelok and it's called (you'll never guess) Water Feature Preparation. "Ben Blackmore" wrote in message .. .

50p? That must be teeny weeny! Is it ok for outside use running off mains
power? Thanks for the advice on the water preparation, I'll keep an eye out for some.

Something for an aquarium that comes with a transformer might be a better
bet. -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com "Ben Blackmore" wrote in message ... 50p? That must be teeny weeny!
