[TowerTalk] Vertical in pond

[NE6V]

we have a pond here and talk about minerals, if you take your handy dandy 
mineral test kit out you'd be very surprised what is in there, its a 
constant fight to keep the water just right for our koi. But this has given 
me a great idea, I'll try a vertical from the middle of the pond. We are 
having it completely rebuilt and it will be much larger...maybe I should lay 
some radials under it and out from its sides...
