I have a pet yabbie that has climbed the filter tube up to the roof of the tank and has managed to open the tank and crawl out. Since then i have made the roof heavier, but he still climbs. I think your idea is good, though. Good luck mate!<br><b>References : </b><br> Unfortunately I don’t have a solution, but I would like to say that Yabbies can climb.

All I can think of is a piece of straight culvert or drainage pipe with slits in it, sunken straight down into the water and drop your (smaller around buckets) of bulbs down into it, you don't say how deep you're going to have to sink the buckets so I would only hope no matter which route you take is going to allow for sunlight to 'bring up' the stems. It sounds like your idea might work though, but at least give the plastic pipe idea a second thought, I've seen it done before and it did work.
