Hey guys Hope maybe this might help one of you guys out that need and ebb and flow table. I was walking out of walmart yesterday when I noticed the plastic kid pools laying outside of the garden section and had a :idea: moment. I was just about to go drop $150 on a 4x4 table. When its just plastic!!! Well they have to size tables at walmart and 3feet and a half in diameter and 1 that looked double the size so I would say around 8 feet.
They trays cost 10 for the small 1 and 15 for the bigger 1. I will take pictures of how I set my table up but it looks like any normal ebb and flow table.
The only negative that I can find is the plastic will bow a little out when filled with water all the way but nothing major. Here Is how some farmer used themhttp://coloradocarnivorousplantsociety.com/1.jpg

Yup. They only have round 1s but exactly the lady that rang me up called it a turtle pool.
