my wrought iron plant stands cored with white & green. i give them only filtered water.

I am moving into a antebellum home in Mississippi this week. My entrance is on the side of the home and I have about permission to create a garden area just behind my porch. The space from the wall of the house to the tall shrubs bordering the neighbor's yard is about 15 ft wide and about 20 ft deep. I have been looking at photos to get an idea of what the elements of a New Orleans courtyard are. I will be using red 18 X 18 inch concrete pavers (rather than brick, due to cost). I have come up with the following list of elements to incorporate to try to get the "feel". Wrought Iron (will try to find fence pieces at local junk stores) and table and chairs. Palm trees (many have some type of green trees overhead) Tropical plants in terra cotta pots water element (they love fountains, will try to find a small one) Statues (classical) white paint (many have a touch of white, the back of my porch and the house wall should work) overhanging plants (shepard's hooks should give some height) old bricks (I can get a few and will use them to give varying heights to the potted plants. I have a few tall shutters to stand together as a outdoor screen to set against the bushes as a wall. I do need ideas for a "wall" to border the back of the courtyard as it faces the backyard. Does anyone else have any suggestions on any ideas I may have missed?

so i have a 10 gallon planted natural tank with a gravel substrate and a male betta fish and 2 ADF's. I need a STAND, not furniture or a canopy. Wrought iron or wood is fine. which ones do you recommend? THANKS

How much money should I plan to spend on a 10 gallon aquarium for my nephew who is almost 13? I used to have tanks but it's been a few years. Not interested in any kits from walmart or petco or such as I want quality equipment so I'll be buying each item. This is my list so far and haven't been in a better fish only shop in a few years. Give me a ballpark figure. Thanks. 10 gallon all glass tank "wrought iron" stand quality power filter undergravel filter quality power head or quality air pump full florescent hood background pre cut 20 lbs gravel net declorinator food 4 or 5 fake plants quality heater thermometor basic ph test kit this would be for a common freshwater community tank mostly guppies, platy, swordtails etc He is responsible and I just want to start him off with quality equipment.
