Hello everyone. In FL the plants are starting to bloom as spring comes around the corner. We only had one cold snap. My plantains all burned from the freeze but new growth has already started. Here is an idea and I would like some advice from some of the veterans on the forum. I purchased a 100 gallon generic stock tank. I saved 15 dollars compared to the rubber maid. Next time I'll spend the extra money. I already have a skippy type filter and a trash can packed with a/c batting and a uv filter.
Here is the question. I would like to use the extra stock tank and create a small bog with it. I want to plum it with some pvc pipe and cover the pipe with pea gravel and other small rocks. This will be an additional filter. I have some extra water flow as I am running a couple of 5500 gph pumps. I would like to give it a try.
Are there any ideas or suggestions. As some of you may remember, I was planning on making a bog out of my lily pond. The lilies are growing nicely and I have a large colony of platys that survived the winter. I don't have the heart to evict them from their home so the large bog is out of the question for now.
