Does anyone have pics of ornamental growbeds?

I used to make fiberglass body kits for sports cars, and motorcycles and I'm familiar with making molds for fiberglass part production.

I would like to make a growbed with some design to it, maybe a lion's head squirting back into the tank, etc.


many ideas from here

Murray (in australia) makes fiberglass growbeds, but strictly functional.

Many of us are incredibly happy to find an old refrigerator, bathtub, stock tank, IBC or swimming pool to use. If you want to raise the bar, by all means go for it!

We will require pictures, of course.

Keep having this mental image of the growbed draining into a toilet cistern and flushing a la Ell's autosiphon back into the "septic" fish tank. LOL

Now that would be cool.
Go for it abs, trying to talk a work mate into adding a grow bed for filteration and plants to an existing pond. A perty grow bed would make it much easier in the convincing department.

What about a fish shaped squirter, along with the nutrient from the fish theme:

Always liked the idea :scratch: (will do if resources permit) of recreating a natural scene - waterfalls, floodplains, watercourses etc.
