That a good challenge. It may require multiple basket clean outs.

Yeah, 3x so far today with Betta 2 and Betta SE Pro going.l, plus 2 or 3 24" nets full of them. They tend to clog the paddle pretty quick.

A manual leaf net would fix that with about 15mins of healthy cardio exercise … or you can let the Betta struggle for a few hours …

As I said, 2 or 3 full 24" leaf nets... plus 3 or 4 baskets full in two Bettas. Five oak trees all hanging over the pool. Glad I'm retired and can keep up! Filled a 45 gallon trash can in 2 days.

A chainsaw would be quite effective at solving your problem …

Would have done that 14 years if they weren't on HOA property! It is nice not to have water temperature exceed 85 during Texas summers.

I'm in Austin and got my Betta on Saturday. With these crazy winds, I was pretty impressed with mine.
