Very cool. Imagine covering most of the water surface like that will also go a long way towards keeping the water clean and clear.

Wow, really cool. Can you post updates so we see how it matures, survives, and thrives? I have never seen a floating filter garden like that.

I'm amazed the whole unit can support so much stone. Do you have an estimate of how much lbs/in2 you're supporting with just milk bottles and milk crates?

Thanks for the question. It’s supporting roughly 4 tonnes of rock plus plants.
