What is the resin for? ~ jan


The "container" I was thinking of using for the bio filter is made from
resin forming what looks like a small river rapid or waterfall. There is a
section up the top which could be used for settling & a deeper & larger
section at the bottom that could be used for planting. The water is pumped
from the pond to the top level then spills to the bottom level before
re-entering the pond.

=======================
I've seen something like that here where I live but they're made of heavy
black plastic. I have one that is kind of S shaped but only used it one
summer. Birds would come to bathe and the bullfrogs, hidden in the plants
around it would eat them! I wont use it any more. I have a round one now
that spills into my smallest inground pond but the birds don't use it as the
sides are too steep.
