« on: September 19, 2008, 08:11:32 PM »

My wife and I started gardening about 3 years ago and after 500 plus perennial plants and do it yourself landscape, we went on a Garden tour of the local area Garden Club...Wow was I hooked on koi ponds after the first garden visit..So the journey began and just about three months later we finished our 3,000g Koi pond.... 18 yards of dirt and who knows how many pounds if not tons of river rock...Thanks to all the local farmers for all the free river rock...

Pond Construction & Filtration / winter storage for my koi? zone 4 300g or 550g

« on: August 15, 2008, 09:51:03 AM »

I can get a Ag tank 300g or 550g,  its a round tank and has a manway on top of tank 16" (so a guy can get into the tank) Its white poly tank used for the Ag business in minnesota its safe for water storage and food use....

Would this be a good tank for my winter storage in my garage and will the 16'' hole on top of the tank be ok for the koi.. i will keep about 12-14 koi in the tank 7-10'' long and over the years they will get bigger...so would the 300 be ok or should i go and get the 550g tank?

I might cut another hole on top to view the fish...

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks Laguna
