I have to rearrange the living room but I think this will work for the little ones. :-) Yep, it goes in the living room so I can enjoy their water antics! (my boss asked me if I had flood insurance) http://www.improvementscatalog.com/product.asp?product=256078zz&dept%5Fid=10 I will put stones and bricks in the bottom to make it easy for them to climb out and I won't put very much water in it, just enough to keep the pump circulating water. Depending on how they do with it, I may empty the water out before I leave for work each day (thank goodness for shopvacs) and I won't leave it running when I'm not home. Any other precautions that anyone can think of? In the cooler months and during winter I can fill it with cornstarch peanuts or shredded paper. I've been saving for a pond for the little ones and this one was just the right type and within my budget! hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart, F.B.S.
