looks like m getting another gator in two weeks, so im pond shopping next week, i went to price some up to day:
5'x3'x4' soild plastic type capable of free standing. on sale clocks in at £150, its black thou so il rarely see the gar, bare in mind its gota be inside. how doable is putting a window in a plastic tank?
i figure lots of good lighting and white gravel is the way forward to see them if no window.

then a 8'2" round, 33" deep is £520.. im saving for that next i guess? thats not on sale and includes delivery, and new i can order in that horrible blue so i can actually see the gar.

well if we re read this we will see that he is buying 5'x3'x4' for temp then he is going buy a 8 foot 2 inch by 33 inch deep pond......
