Aquarium rant: if you have a home aquarium slightly smaller in size than the reflecting pool’s 6.8 million gallons, plecos are a terrible choice for algae control. They get way too big and introduce way too much ammonia. Snails and neocardinia shrimp are a much better choice and can actually live off algae and crud on the bottom to a large extent.

Terrarium rant: if you have a home terrarium it is not the same thing as an aquarium and no, do not put fish in it. They will die.

Has there ever been a push to make the reflecting pool more natural and self regulating? It would look pretty cool with some water lilies and koi. You can even get lilies in red, white, and blue. Or use a native alternative if that’s more appropriate.
