oops the last diagram is upside down and when i flip it in another program it goes back the same once i upload it oh well just stand on your head

I just turned the my laptop upside down, requires much less balance

There is no need to hang the buckets, just stack them on top of something. you could even just use another bucket that has sections cut out of it, or lots of holes drilled around it for the water to drain, not like 1/4" holes, I mean like 1" to 2" holes drilled with a hole saw

yea thats what i was thinking but i was just wondering if there was just anther way to suport them so water could drain out the bottom but that will work just fine. i am sure i will have more questions later. and i meant people who had a computer with a moniter

Does anyone Have a flowrate calculator for pipes? i am trying to decide what size of pipes i need to plumb this monster. found some dual tube four foot florecent shop lights at the hardware store for 11$

 

[Demon_fish]

more questions. What is the best way to re-enforce the corners? and whats the best way to make the liner not bunch up in the corner?

 

[Demon_fish]

can anyone answer my quesions?

 

[Demon_fish]

we found the answer to the re-enforcing the corners question but now i need to know how to cover the top. we were thinking of using a big window screen on top of a few planks to suport in and then have the screen fixed to the planks and the planks fixed to the pond. will this work or will and aro jump through or partaly through and injur itself?
