Скачать или смотреть Pond with a Basement

I like rocks. My fish like rocks. Rocks look natural. Rocks rock.

But, rocks placed immediately atop the pond liner, can harbor nasty, potentially toxic muck. Raising the rocks off the liner with a flooring system creates a false bottom. Water flows through these elevated rocks instead of stagnating between them.

Predators hate this system, btw. When bad guys grab a seat at the lunch counter, fish ain’t on the menu. They’ve escaped to the safety of the basement.

Problems solved, sort of. A floor made from elevated rocks hides the unnatural bits -- liners, pumps, pipes, pre-filters, etc. But, it makes accessing all this componentry more difficult, especially when the pump needs its pre-filter cleaned.

Enter our heros, THE FISH. They glide effortlessly through these human-unfriendly spaces. And, they’re looking for work. In fact, they'll work for food!

So, I designed (and patented) a pre-filter that lets the fish indulge their masticating parts and take over my cleaning chores. “Teaching a fish to fish”, so to speak.

It's a symbiotic transaction known to economists as an optimal “voluntary exchange”. Everyone else calls it a "win-win". The fish are happy for an easy and frequent meal. I’m spared the filthy and frequent drudgery of pre-filter maintenance.
