Hi Taylor!

I have tried that pour-on stuff. I find it tends to turn yellow with sun/rain/freezing. I lean toward using the real things, and then trying to do them in miniature. The ponds can hold a bit of water which is always fun to play with, and gets a chuckle from who ever sees it! I have seen the fish sunk into the resin though - it's a great effect!

Thanks for that image - it's kinda like I've doing but I love the shadows of the lily pads! That pond bottom looks like something I want to dive into. I've included a picture of one of my ponds below where I try to give the illusion of the lily pads and pond scum, and still keep them at a reasonable price. ( The solid blue colored ones I call pools! )

My mini Koi are coming tomorrow - apologies! I haven't put them back in the store yet - they should be up there tomorrow with the new ponds. I got completely wiped out of both the other week and it took me awhile to get things back in order! My inventory changes from time to time to keep it interesting for both sides... !
