Dart Den

I am thinking of just having a 3-4 inch deep and 6 inch diameter pond sort of dish sit in the subtrate - level with it. Making for easy cleaning.

I was wondering what is the best way then to drain the water from the misting out of the gravel at the bottom of said pond...

Nate,
the best way to drain a pond area is to have the tank drilled, and install a drain/ overflow.
However if this is not an option, you could "hand" siphon the water a couple of times a week or more if neccessary.

You could just use a turkey baster and suck the water out easily that way.
