hey guys keep in mind that this guy is in michigan! And it is still February, well for some of us you guys on the east coast are in March. Is this going to be in a metal trough, because if it is there is not enough dechlorinator in the world to keep that really fish safe... I had a lady come into the store the other day that was looking for koi for her 10 gal. I talked her into feeder goldfish! her husband had rigged up the tank to pump water up to some lettuce that they are growing upstairs, the lettuce is sitting upon a gravel bed that trickles back into the tank seems pretty cool for me I always use tank water to water my tropical plants the false Aurelia and dwarf palms love it...
