I have one. Make sure you get the plastic liner. My local garden
center had a plastic pail that fit the inside perfectly. I used sand
and river gravel on the bottom and have it planted with one water
lily, one aquatic forget me not and one water hyacinth. This year
I put minnows in it. Last year I had two goldfish and just as I
bought the tank to bring them inside for the winter they got eaten.
Probably by a raccoon. I had really gotten attached to those guys and
that is why I'm using minnows this year.
