[QUOTE="Insanity, post: 376065, member: 14077"] I used a huge old stock tank as a kid to keep 4 inch shiners for bass fishing local ponds. I've always fed them gold fish flakes. Good call on the Hydrilla! :wink: I'm planing on setting up another this spring. Biggest stock tank I can find. Buried 12 inches or so deep and in the shade to help keep it cool. Watering down the ground on really hot days will keep it cooler. As will an airator. :wink: Il be using a home made filter system I dreamed up. An over flow system based on salt water tanks. It will over flow ( to take out floaters). Into a pan filled with foam and bio media. Then get pumped back into the tank by a small pond pump. Add in some creek gravel, some plants, snails, and few craw fish and it should run very clean and clear. There's tons of info on the net about water quality for marine and fresh water tanks for anyone enter rested. Easy to learn the basics. The bigger the water volume the easier to maintain of corse, and possibly no water changes. [/QUOTE]
