And you crunch 200 snails between your toes?  (mine isn't big enough to stand in anyway...)

Tina:
Mine is pretty large. And deep but not as deep as it used to be. The rocks on the bottom are slimy and need care to tromp on. But mostly when we cleaned it well, it was completely drained and we put the fish in temporary holding. Then bleached and scrubbed the crud out of all the rocks before replacing. And the plastic lining too. I can reach in from the sides to grab up most of the stuff on the bottom. It is best to skim anything off the surface before it gets saturated and sinks.

I climb into the muck and bail mine out twice a year, but mine is 5' deep, and I have ducks. I catch the fish and put them in a tub while draining, then treat the water and dump them back. Only have non-spendy snails here, so if they are in the wrong place, they die.
