ok so i packed it up.
it will be so easy to set it up next time cus the mockup is done.

i took off the birds netting and rinsed it.
dont remove the clothes pins from the netting,next time they will be in the right places "a circle" :D

next i cleaned the sump/media in the filter.
then i stuffed the media,birds netting,and hoses,in the sump for storage.

next i drained it,got all the fish,plants,snails out.
then i rinsed it out one good time.
picked it up and rinsed the dirt off the bottom.

next,have fun,was to fold it up.
i did something like this /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
if ya get what i mean.lol
try not to bend it wrong cus next time you set it up it will be bent there.

then a pic of what you have left to store,
bucket with media,net,hose
and the crate that held up the sump now holds the pool perfect for storage.
:headbang2

then do ya like my crop circle??? :ROFL:
it will grow over in no time. :)

then pics of what was in it.
i was surprised at how many fish were in there. :ROFL:
tilaps,big mayan,lots of small mayans,fl flag fish,snails,lettuce,some other plants.
:grinno:
the fish are now in a 55g barrel with air,
on death row,
waiting on the executioner.
:ROFL:

i will get pics once i use it for real.
"when i move my ponds and need a place for like 30 fish"
:D
