Aquarium Advice Regular
Was just thinking on what can be made cheaper than buying - here is a link to some photos of what can be bought (link below )
and instead of buying a barley ball - maybe use a hamster ball - this is used for hamsters to run on the floor - but instead of the hamster fill it up with barley straw and drop it into your pond.
and as for the floating island - you can use a hoola hoop that the kids play with and put netting over it with some hanging down and use that as a floating island - for smaller ponds use tubing and seal the ends together then sew netting on it with the middles hanging down (like a net )and fill with plants for floating island.
anyone else with ideal please feel free to add. Remember must be easy to make / cheap for parts and useable in a pond .And photos will be great as well just to see what it looks like.
Thank you in advance - and remember have fun (must )
