If things don't change soon (no bad smell, fungi under control) Im going to tie the log down to the big lava rocks using 1 or 2 strands of aluminum wire. I'm also thinking of drilling a couple holes in the log to accept artificial aquatic plant stems, you know the kind that have little male/female sockets that pop-off the main stem. If it turns out be be aesthetic instead instead of little-mermaid corny, ill place stems all over it. Then Ill move ahead with stocking provided the feeders are not disturbed or threatened, goodness knows they have paid their dues and I have promised them a homeland in the form a a backyard pond.
