In the fish room
I just pick up a 400 gallon horse trough and was wondering If I just cleaned it out and put my rays in it would the rays be ok? or does It need a pond liner or something? Its metal.
 
i am not a ray guy. i would think that its goin to react with the metal tho. even gavaniezed rusts. just my thoughts. i would say not the best idea.
 
Best to put a pond liner in there, just in case it starts to rust.
 
i would add a pond liner...
 
ok I did wind up putting the liner in. now I just need to get my filtration to stop leaking and than get a heater and i'm done. will post some pics up later
 
cant wait for the pix
 
Heres the pics the bucket shows how big it is. it is 58 inches across and 28 or 23 inches deep can't remenber

this is my crapy filtration right now its for a 1600 gallon pond but it leaks really bad.

but hey the pond liner was $64 the pump was $65 the filters were on clearance for $14.99 form being $59 each and I paid $80 for the horse trough. I think I got it all for a good deal. now when my male otorongo comes him and his female will have space to move
