Hello, first time posting here. We are in the planning stage of our first real pond while we wait for escrow to close on our first home. We have a large rubbermaid stock tank that we plan to use as an upflow bog filter similar to this http://www.skippysstuff.com/compfiltr.html only we plan on using pea gravel instead of media pads. We still want to have a "swirl chamber" at the bottom and thought we would use expanded metal and weld on supports or use bricks to support the weight of the rock. This is what expanded metal looks like if not familar with it http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/10598542/Expanded_Metal.html
anyhow, I wasn't sure about using metal because of rust. was wondering if anyone else has used metal in pond construction. I was thinking maybe I could use plati dip coating on it? http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.html
thanks in advance for any advice
