Hello,

I've been lurking in here for awhile. I really want a pond, but I can't add a permanent one because I rent, nor can I have a removable one that kills the lawn. My mom has an aquarium we've had since I was 10 that she needs to get rid of. I can't have an aquarium in the house.

But, with all these facts we came up with an idea. I could make a "pond" on the side of my porch with the aquarium! So here is the aquarium.

I want to make a cover that will be turned into a fairy garden. Here is the thread where I’m dealing with that aspect [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

The aquarium will have water mint (pictured), water iris, canna lily, and a lily pad. I might try doing a couple fish in it depending on how it turns out.

What do people think?

Laura
