My water softener tank collection increased to 51 with the addition of 14 new arrivals. The blue ones are quite rare and valuable as the fish prefer their subdued look.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Spawning cans? Structure pods? Maybe you just like collecting them? I collected dead batteries when I was a kid, did I say that out loud?

Mortar launchers for a big 4th of July show........... They do remind me of the 500 pound bombs we loaded on F4's back in my days at the National Guard. Hey Scott, I wonder, maybe one could make them into fluidized bed sand filters?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Whew, I'm glad someone else asked what the tanks are for. I'm curious also, but hadn't yet been able to muster the intestinal fortitude required to pose such a question.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Some horizontal arrays and some vertical arrays grouped together in a structure field for the pond. Of course, everyone knew that.

Cecil, I think one would work very well for a FSB container. It has a base to keep it upright, one could make a cone to fit in the bottom to make the fluidization easier to accomplish adn to eliminate any dead zones like might occur with a flat base. Dwight, how easily are they acquired by common folks like us?

I get mine from a local water conditioning company. These tanks all have a leak or some other flaw. They would normally send them to the land fill. Free for me and no landfill charges for them.
Perhaps you could find a good used one on the cheap at a local water conditioning company.

Some of those larger ones would be good for ice fishing house sleeves aftr they were cut to the correct length. Although the new ones also feature a screw on lid to keep the muskrats out when the house is un-occupied.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.
