Using concrete blocks instead of milk crates

Interesting and good idea! I can cut enough out to alleviate the danger!

Claude,

I have a dozen milk crates in my 2000 gallon pond. The sides of the
crates have been removed and do not present an obstruction or hazard
to the fish. Never had a fish get caught in a milk crate. Here is a

I tried this and by the time you remove enough supports for the koi to get
through, the milk crates were too week to hold up the lilies.
