Burger, I'll bet your fish would love to get some relief from that blistering Texas sun, I was there years ago at Fort Wolters for helicopter training, HOT HOT HOT !!!

Probably the quickest way to make an island would be with a sheet of styrofoam, put some edging on it to hold the dirt, and punch holes in it.
