A couple of weeks ago I was helping my buddy take some stuff to the dump and he had a good sized Mr.Turtle sandbox mixed in there (I used to eyeball the thing but his daughter was still playing with it last I saw it, now it finally came avilable)
It's nice and sturdy and has a fine "dead-air" feature built in that the usual pools don't have- I put ALL my outdoor species in there except for S "Scarlet Belle" and my one outdoor VFT.
I am going to get a hobo-logger off Brian to put in there and get some idea of exactly what the bog goes through in the winter (tho from all accounts it's gonna be an atypical warm, wet winter, so fungus might be more of an issue than cold, oddly)
I will try to get pics of it sometime soon, but if I can't get any before everything goes to crud, I will certainly grab some next year- only about half of my Sarrs looked good still and it actually looked totally awesome, so I'm thinking Springtime will have heem looking totally spectacular, can't WAIT (tho I know it's months away regardless) I also knocked enough D.filiformis seeds into the mix accidentally that I should have a GIANT stand of them little guys next year, which is kinda fun, since I already have enough of them that I have to thin them a bit, but with the larger surface they will help to fill in some of the gaps methinks
Sorry it's just a text account, but I wanted to get this documented before I forget (and I know, I think this might be the wrong section, so I will move it myself when I decide where it truly belongs)

Sounds great! We'll get some interesting data next spring.

wow....nice going carl. Hey.....don't forget to post up the pictures soon eh...? ... And..once I get used and have success with my VFT's....I'll send some for you to populate your mini bog. . Its unacceptable that u only have 1 VFT...comeon....VFT is the very recognition of a CP.
