Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Small Island

Geez. I didn't even notice that it was 1/2 inch stuff! I was thinking it was 2 inches. I agree that laminating 2 inch sheets would be ideal. I was actually thinking of laying two side by side then laminating an additional two sheets the opposite direction for an 8x8 island platform that is 4 inches thick. What size pvc would you think would work best?

And here's another question I've been pondering - the floating islands international product in the latest issue of PB boasts 300 sq. ft. of surface area per cubic foot (I think that was the measurement) for ideal microbe growth. This closed cell stuff wouldn't do that, of course, but what about attaching a whole bunch of wadded up deer netting underneath on the pvc where the plant roots could grow down in and intertwine with it? Probably still not achieving the surface area of the FII product, but would that help increase the beneficial surface area?
