I have a small pond also. I use a livestock tank heater in it for years in the winter and our winters get quite cold, the fish always survive, just don't feed..they stop eating when the temps drop. Those tanks will be quite nice...especially if you pump from one tank to another with a fall of water..if the water falls it helps add air to the tank which helps when the tanks are high. A cool watering can or some kind of tin moving the water would be nice..or a old pump or faucet even? The biggest thing I would suggest tho since it is metal and small is to keep the water cool...put large plants around it to shade it a bit, and put in near partial or full shade to keep the water cool. Stay away from Koi as it is too small to successfuly keep them for longer than a season, but goldfish will do just fine..good luck..share it with us when your done! Here is mine...

I would have the same layout as tag_singer's; across from the toilet and sitting in the corner. It would be closest to the left hand wall though, while hers is on the right. From what I can tell, TP holders go on either side, just depending upon the layout of the bathroom. The problem now is that the current TP holder literally prevents me from putting any type of trash container there except the tiniest one, since the holder sticks out from the side of the cabinet and you can't fit a wastebasket in there. Even when the wastebasket is facing the other way, it makes it pretty tough to get the hand towel in there, so many of them end up on the floor. I am planning a shower a couple of weeks from now, and 35 or so ladies will be here....the current wastebasket will likely need to be emptied after an hour or so, LOL. I am laughing at myself here....never thought I would put so much thought into such a small detail!!

Hi, New here and would like some suggestions. Our Property is Exposed down the Valley from the south totally exposed to the morning sun in the east - Along side a field which seperates us a from major road. We have generated a 75 foot long trellis 8 feet high(the garden is 300 feet long!) from local logs and "reduced to stem conifirs" which were dying and ugly - Which along side the house is coverering well after four years with rambling roses a picture and scent as designed/planned. The soil is Classic example 'free draining' ! being furtile river silt. Towards the front a Wysteria, four Honey suckle, a sycotic hydranger, Vine, two clematis and three more rambling roses have been planted - the soil has been 'unoffically' treated for honey fungus after the removal by pushing over of a very rotten oak tree, Dutch elm has Killed the Elm saplings - BUT the bluebells, bulbs ferns and Lilly of the valley and grass all grow exceedingly well - but the 'straggly' plants all which should be exceeding 15 foot (like the roses) in their third year are sluggish in growth and several have failed to show any enthuisiam at all, Even with all the 'proper recommended bits added' they are screened by a split bamboo screen at the most exposed point. Any suggestions why we should have progressive failure towards the windward direction and what rapid covering climbers / ramblers could be used to fill in the gaps - of course they would preferably to be able to be cover 20 foot spread when fully grown and rise over 9 feet in height. Noting we had sucessfully grown 'maximum size' wysteria and montana at our old house with no problems.. Thanks in anticipation of your suggestions

There are a lot. The one on the top shelf is a Sunblaster (or SUNBLASTAH as I call it) which is very good if you want one bulb. I have a two bulb fixture below that, both 2 feet. First determine how much area you want to cover and how many bulbs. Then if you need more than one bulb for each shelf and can afford more than one single-fixture light for each shelf, that's a good way to go because you can space them out as needed. I have a four bulb 4' fixture in my basement. I took chances and went cheap with the one's that aren't Sunblaster and they've worked out, but it's a risk. Be sure to read the reviews. If you don't mind purple and blue light, you can search for 'LED grow light' and find a bunch of them that aren't that expensive, but they aren't long like florescent fixtures being square or round.
