I have a heavy mesh lid but birds dip my net this year will change next year. I also noticed you seem to have slimmed probably mostly water retention but over all your color has improved and you appear slimmer.

Mike Homy D will cut 2x4's cut 2 for length 2 for width. go 12inch more then each tub measurement. put them down where you want the tub. fill inside the 2x4's with sand or gravel. run a 3rd 2x4 over the top of the 2x4's (level 2x4's prior.) the sand or gravel will be level! bingo! place tub and its perfect!

No, but do keep in mind it is PH neutral and your guppies will do better in harder water.

I’ve had my eye on a 300 g Rubbermaid for awhile, but I think I’ll finish my fish garage first... which is after I finish “management’s” projects... so once again... wait’ll next year.

I laughed so hard when you coughed and said fine. I do hope you're fine tho :P. By the way - Plants actually absorb ammonia (NH3) directly from the water column and prefer it over trites/trates. So if you have enough plant matter to offset that ammonia there won't be a need to cycle the pond in the first place.

I told you you can't put vinyl pools on grass. When weeds grow they grow through the vinyl. Yet you still don't get it. The instructions say specifically not to do this. Also Rubbermaid containers kill fish. Greg Sage put out a great warning about this years ago.
