Need Ideas For Raising Level of Potted Pond Plants + How To Turn Dial on Aquascape

[ronahalpern]

Hi Fellow Ponders,

It's been a long time since my last post seeking opinions on filtes./pumps for my smallish concrete 1/2 raised pond. Thanks to your input, I purchased the external Aquaklean Filter with submerged Apump.

Plastic milk crates topped with flagstone serve to raise the level of the plant containers while giving the fish a spot to hide.

And Walmart sells mini milk crates if you need a shorter height.

small means you need smaller items to place them and crates come in all sizes for back to school college kids .I am going to try to plant my lilies in a gallon milk jug next year to protect it from the koi .I figured if I cut the top off and drill holes in and tie the handle to the side of the pond it may work .When you own a pond you can come up with the craziest things .You just need to go in the store and look at things with a ponders eye
