Floating Insulation Clean Up Water Problems
This year a huge amount of algae formed in my stock water tank, and the water also got warm. To solve the problem I cut a piece of reflective insulation – the type with aluminum foil on both sides – to fit the tank. The insulation floats on the water and is very flexible. It cleared up the water.
  The metal frame that supports bulk chemical tanks works great as a small hay feeder. There’s very little waste as the animals’ heads stay inside the feeder, and the frame’s rounded corners keep the animals from getting hurt. I think this feeder would work for any animal with a small head and no horns. I paid about $60 for the tank and frame. The tank can be slipped back into the frame if I ever need it to haul water.
