Summer Ponds and Tubs

[platytudes]

We do, but we keep sucking water out of the Floridan aquifer faster than it can regenerate (thanks, developers...of which I am sure you are familiar living in CA) and rainfall has been down on average. Ocala (where I live now) is too far inland to see much of hurricanes, we do get little "microbursts" (like baby tornadoes) though.

Sorry to hijack your thread, PB I love your cinder block pond, maybe I can build a teeny version of that in my new apartment patio. All depends on how uptight the neighbors are - I hope the answer is "not very"

I've heard of microbursts. We had one hit out here years ago and the news tried explaining what it was but did a poor job on it cause everyone thought they were making stuff up. Until then we had never even heard of them. The one we had did some major damage to a business building but nothing else.

Oh and I'm sure Mike doesn't mind. We hijack each others threads all the time.

LOL we are just a band of aqua bandits.. Its all good..

 

[GEV83]

LOL no doubt.. well so far the ponds and tubs are doing good i put the Rose Line sharks and the Boesemani's in the 515gal pond and in two of the tubs I have barbs species only one tub has Gold Barbs and the other has Cherry Barbs not sure yet on the 3rd tub plus i should be getting the 3 other fiberglass ponds at least by Sunday so i am thinking a cichlid species in one and a Gourami in another.. Good times..

Dang. I wish I had the space to do all that. They got a molded pond at my local lowes that's 125 gallon that I was eye balling for $74.99. Would be nice to have if I had the space.

Just do it man, likewise i wish you were closer to here man i would def hook you up with one of these, i called the pet store today and told him i would be by to pick them up later this week, i had to install a new floor for our kitchen and utility room, but i was able to ask him what size they were and he said 360gal so 30 bucks a piece for 3 of them isn't bad at all..

 

[GEV83]

Dude that's less then a Penny a gallon. I want one.

 

[Pittbull]

Yeah they are long and rectangle i am going to stop by tomorrow after work to get them but i have to clean them out LOL there is a reason why i am getting them cheap.. Plus i dont mind at all..

 

[GEV83]

I wouldn't mind at all either. I'de clean them all if you offered to give me one if I was close by that is. Should take before and after photo's.
