Decided to build a 4x2x2 floating growout tank to put in my 1500 pond to grow out a few smaller fish on the cheap over all I spent $50 on;
3-4x2 florescent light covers $11 each
1-4x2 plexiglass sheet $15
100 zip ties $2
and 30 min of my time
the plexi I used.
Drilled holes in it for water and food waste to go to the filter intake under it.
The covers I used.
Cut one in half
Putting it together with zip ties
All together
Using water bottles to float it....ya kinda ghetto but oh well
6 bottles of water and a trip to the bathroom later
Into the pond
This is mainly for my RTCxTSN I get all the benefit of having 1500 gal of water without having to worry about him getting eaten. Don't have to set up filters and crap for a separate grow out and in the future if i get fish I can just set it in the pond and its done. No extra water changes and it will be much less stressful moving them to the big pond in the future.
