      :smile: Handy if you fancy some sushi..............lol.

      No seriously that is a bit special,a very novel origional idea.
      My only concern is that the small amount of water will get to hot and the lack of oxygen for the fish..
      Good luck.

        Thanks ziggy searchfield I can see that one now.

        Simon1967, I have to go with "Roders" from what I can see it looks too small for any fish, the other thing I was thinking is some one may use it to rinse their hands in since "it is there" and is the "wood stain" fish safe, and if anything is spilt on the table will it not run into the water.
        Its nice, but how about some floating candles instead?

        There seems to be a little confusion here with my pondtable. Here are a few facts in the build of it.

        • Inside the wooden table is a plastic tub so the woodstain on the table has no contact with the water
        • The plastic tub holds 180 litres of water
        • There are 2 solar pumps rated at 150 l/p/h. Both with battery back up so they run on cloudy days and into the night
        • There are only 4 small goldfish in the pond

          wow really nice idea , the idea is great and it can actually be improved as well , I would put a glass on the top , or plexiglass in case some heron decide to have a quick meal and it will stop the heavy frost in winter , plus a side glass to actually make it look like a fish tank........but absolutly great idea :blue thumb:
