I think it would be kind of a haddock to keep it from falling over and you’d have to mussel it around a bit. &nbsp;Maybe if you wanted to try it just for the halibut though…

Just a thought, but if the PC was canted (and possibly unstable) I'd be concerned about where the flow of water was being directed. &nbsp;Not necessarily a big deal if the only issue is poor water circulation, but what happens if the water starts spraying out of the water bath? &nbsp;:-O

I see what you did there... &nbsp;Very clever! &nbsp;=D\>
