OT - How many rec.pond'ers does it take to change a light bulb?
 

12 - to report how they have created something superior to the light bulb
using a 5 gallon bucket and pea gravel - "It will only have to be changed
about once a year."
0 - Light bulbs are not natural and should not be included around a pond
0 - Orange and Blue water are not nearly so noticeable without a light bulb.
