I really liked the strawberry pot with the lava stone in it. I'm going to
have to figure out how to impliment that. I worry though if it will make
the water hotter...

I have my pump in a 5 gallon bucket that is filled with lava rock. I
clean
it about once a year and have had no trouble with it. Basically you can
tell if it needs cleaned if the rate of water flow slows.

I like that one too, and since I screwed up when building my VF, you see
mycheck valve. It would make a nice platform to site a decorative pot on to.
My concern is that the strawberry pots I always see, seem to be unfinished
terracotta. That will never last in the pond.
