T Tropicals wouldn't survive in this enclosure during the winter. They are all tucked away in the heated shed. Thanks Don .And the same welcome is extended to you also if your ever in the Niagara area on my side of the ditch. Wayne |

I leave one pump running all year. It doesn't create a water feature. It just disturbed the surface right below the main falls. This water goes through a 45 gal. filter that I have buried with just the top exposed for cleaning. |
