Hey everyone I am planning an above ground pond. It will be a 2x4 frame with plywood and insulation board on the inside along with insulation in between the 2x4's plus an insulatated lid that will be removed for viewing/feeding. I have not decided whether it will be tropical or not.
Here are my options:
(they will come inside for winter)
1. 8'x7'x2' 840 gallon pond for res turtle/koi/goldfish
2. 8'x7'x2' 840 gallon catfish pond (heated)
3. 8'x4'x2' 480 gallon catfish pond (heated)
Would 1 500 watt heater work for the 840 gallon or would I need 2 500 watt heaters?
What about the 480 gallon pond? 1 500 watt heater should work fine right?
I need temperatures of about 70-75
p.s I live in Canada so the temperature is usually 21-28 Celsius
Here are some fish I would like to stock it with:
rtc
tsn
arowana
tiger oscar
(yes I am aware that these fish get very big)
any suggestions would be appreciated
