OK folks, help me work with what I have here. This is my filter, the box seems large enough to put some other stuff in there, but I won't be going back into town till Tuesday. So, no I don't have quilt batting, what else can I use?

I did but the charcole filter back in and at least it got dirty! Below the grid is another box that I have some gravel in to help sink it, can I put anymore stuff in there?

I got the pondshade in black but must ask before I use it, will the fountain water look black too? A waterfull is a next year project, if I have any hair left.

I have one fish (Calico)who doesn't look happy, he stays near the top and gulps air, is there anything I can do? He didn't seem too interested in food and stays by himself.

Glad you're here holding my hand ;>}
