I was hoping to give my common(Lorraine) and shubunkin(Shubunky-boo-boo) a nice 100 gal or so stock tank(or something similar) to spend the rest of the summer in, then move it to my stoarge/furnace room to winter. I was just wandering around Petsmart today wondering if I had the guts to buy a brand new tank(for another plan of mine) when I happened onto the pond supplies. Clearance tags ALWAYS catch my eye and in a fish store, watch out. So I got a Pondmaster 1500 garden pond filter system for $69.99 marked down from $159.99. ALL of their pond filters and pumps are on sale, FYI, and this seemed like a good deal.
So now all I need to do is get a container (100 gal - 150ish gal) to put the big guys into. It will need to be something that I can move into the basement before it freezes so that's why I was kinda thinking of a stock tank. I found a 100 gal stock tank for $52-something and a 145 gal preformed pond thing for $67-something. Now that it's actually something that is going to happen, my plans are slowly getting wilder and 100 gal doesn't seem to be enough. :devil: 200? I dunno. I love these fish. It's sick. :screwy:
