Koiguy, guess you will have to put a leash on the pleco and let him vacuum the outside for you then :lol:
I have algae on the inside of mine but then I have no plants in there right now
Never noticed if it was on the outside. I think my goldies prolly pick at it for a snack.

thank god thought I was going to have to prove it to you ,what a relief:lol::lol::lol:would not be pretty ,maybe funny, but not pretty

Hahaha sissy i would have no right to laugh, with the ten minutes it takes me to get the darned thing started and then to lose it so quickly and then to trip over it trying to get it off, if you ask me it's totally not worth it

wondering who invented and how much money they made on the thing .I have seen some really frustrating things invented that seem to be almost impossible for some but others can do it like it is second nature .I have noticed my nieces and even nephews with a hula hoop and have no problems getting it started came to the conclusion if you have no curves you can do it .lol

i have an 18" pieco he likes the pond life....but the alge grows mostly on the outside of the rings...the inside is shaded by the plants................. just curious...does everyone read all the posts? no need to answer this.

koiguy I have read through this entire post and did not see where you state how deep this ring goes if you did I apologize for you having to restate it. I know it floats on the surface but what about the sides of the plastic fencing how deep are they, looks like 4"-6" is this correct?

 

[koiguy1969]

actually the 2nd posting tells ya how deep....it says cut a 4" strip long enough to wrap around your ring....but as deep as you like is good.for some plants you may want to go deeper or shallower. but your were right 4" - 6" should accomodate most any floating plant.

Thanks koiguy it sure does say that, must have just read right over that.

Thanks again

? if I made this out of pvc would it float? looking to make it square almost like an island.

 

[koiguy1969]

as long as its sealed and doesnt fill with water...your good to go!

 

[koiguy1969]

i think i will make one about 6' - 8' round ( diameter) instead of using the little ones. tie it off, centered in the pond....big shade, big hiding spot, yep. sounds good!

 

[talal101]

Wow u must have a very large pond to build something so big I so hate you

lol talal, floating planter ring envy. I am making one also, but out of floating rope, just to keep the plants together in one area. Maybe then the lil fishes will show their little fins.

 

[talal101]

hahah addy yes thats exactly it, and your fish are still afraid of you?

 

[addy1]

The suckers are still hiding...........but we have not been home for a week, so maybe they are showing now that we are not home lol
