Bird Bath Fountain Retrofit

[SylvanLakeWH 25,973]

Dad passed on this bird bath and I got tired of changing the water every day since it holds so little. Got to thinking about converting it to a fountain / bird bath with a large reservoir so I only need to change once in a while and can top off when needed due to evaporative loss and birds splashing...

 

Best part was it cost $0.00!!! Used old pump and tubing from my son's salt water tank and an old painters bucket from the garage...even the coral was "free" thanks to my son's tank supply of left over stuff...

 

I think it came out pretty nice and water changes are a breeze - just empty the 5 gallon bucket, refill and plug pump in...
