microb said:For years I've had a large wet vac canister on wheels doing nothing in the garden shed. Almost threw it away. Then realized that it was water tight and decided to turn it into a water lily tub. Ok, so its bright red but it looks kind of neat on the edge of the driveway in the sun with new water lily plants. Won't have blooms for a while and need to add some guppies or swords to add interest. Its only a short distance from an old chest freezer that had the lid removed, lined with black plastic sheet and added water. Cover the exterior with ferns and bougainvillea and you would never know what it is. Will have take and post pics.

Wow, guppies I got! All fancies, very vivid colors, so many babies bought a 2nd tank....trying to sell them on Craigslist, not 1 call! No idea what to do with them all,
we just did a small bathroom sink water pond, turned out cute, but not deep enough for my guppies, summer would be too hot even under a shade tree.
