    The chair is out!!

    With regards to the hanging basket, I was hoping that the peace in the home would cover the sides.

    Any other ideas/drawings?

    Thanks

    Perhaps a water proof glue/sealant to stick suitable stones,pebbles or slate to cover them? Or just build rocks around them?

    Most glues will fail underwater or will be toxic to the fish.

    I doubt silicone will work that well ....... and proper stuff rated for fish tanks etc is expensive

    It would be better just to build the covering stones with shards interlocking them like a dry stone wall.

    But my sudgestion was specificly not to stick them but to go with the method of stacking them due to the isuse of possible toxidity of the glue!!

    No sudgestion was made as to a suitable adhesive hence the need to add a cautionary note!

    I suggest building would be a more permanant structure than stacking and more attractive:)

    Things are only expensive if you think they are "not worth that much money"

    I suggest silicone will work very well at holding things in situ.

    To me the downside will be keeping them secure while the silicone cures, and getting the right amount of silicone in the first place.

    Could you not use the same method as last time?
