@Intheswamp you can get UV-resistant plastic sheeting for greenhouses. Not as tough as a pond liner, but they come in smaller sizes and last quite a few years. I have some from here: https://farmplasticsupply.com/greenhous ... year-clear?

Bookmarked it. I figure this year I might try a kiddie pool and I've got my 15-gallon trough for a mini-bog. Sometimes the carnivorous plant eyes get bigger than, well, ....they just get bigger, I guess!!!

The trick is to find out and *know* that the paint won't off-gas or leach chemicals into the water.

If completely coated with silicon, the silicon should prevent passage of chemicals into the water.

Hmmm, yep. Yep, we did.
