No tape measure handy but you happen to have a Kennedy 50 cent piece handy?

Chris,

Thanks for the pics. I like your idea of the goldfish/carp, and I think I'll put some in my tanks, too. Sounds like a good method for automatic cleaning. You mentioned you don't like to have your tanks out in the open, I'm assuming for asthetics? I put mine more out in the open and away from the trees figuring I wouldn't have to clean as many leaves out in the fall.

I would have had some pics to post this morning but a pack of wild dogs came through a couple of days ago and ate my german shepherd (Mac) up pretty good. So, instead of playing on my tractor and taking more pics I've been back and forth to the vet (20 miles each way). Mac's gonna be OK, but it will take him a while to recuperate. His ear was ripped in two, among other injuries, and we had to clean it several times a day, and let it heal some before it could even be stitched. I'll pick him up from the vet this afternoon and then we should be done with it. (So much for the $$ I was saving for a landscape rake /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif)

Sorry... it is the largest object ( of a fixed size ) I could lay my hand on at the time.

Sorry to hear about your dog.. hope it is ok..

As for the tanks.. I do try to get them out from under trees.. because.. like this one ( first try ) I got it right around the trees.. and it did fill up with leaves, etc.

YMMV.. but the fish have worked great for me.. And I forgot the best part.... no mosquito larva... the fish love mosquito season...

Hey Chris, There's nothing to be sorry about. I just found it odd, thats all.

Thanks for sharing the photos.
