If holes are too big, could you Sew (or staple?) a fine mesh curtain cloth liner bag for the basket? Maybe show a mod like that next time? Also, your first "failure" attachment, just be sure the backer rod is long enough without stretching, maybe just slightly loose. Then use blue painters tape to clamp silicone in place to dry. Glad you're back for DIY, keep up the good work.

I sure like your ideas. It really helps me with floating pond plant project I'm planning.

Excited to see more of DIY Wednesday.

OH MY! ! ! I love this Idea for the outside 10 x 6 ft pond I'm working on AWESOME 💣 the BOMB Diy I've been looking for. thank you.

Simple straight forward DIY!!!! Great idea!

I wanted to do something similar in my goldfish pond. I had a rectangular plastic basket- I found that it floats just fine on it's own.

Intresting concept definitely try this especially for water changes.

I could see using the orchid basket for filtering/scrubbing water.

They all look so fun to make.

I think the last 2 would be too large for fry use but they would be good to use for other purposes like segregation or sorting plants etc..

Curious how much weight these would hold....

Why not just use a styrofoam bowl that they sell in the grocery store 20 oz bowls work great once you put water in they float at surface. Like 20 cents each.

The bettaoasis store isn’t setup yet? I guess you don’t want no support🤣
