green house enclosure w/ 8x8 pond inside

[wheatgerm]

my uncle built a greenhouse for raising his coral frags and such for salt water. he ran copper water pipes into the cement and hooked it up to a water heater and thermostat for heating during the winter and all the filtration was ran threw the cement like a pool. its been running for 4 years. i can get more info from him if your planning on doing something like that?

Awesome idea,and it's moving quickly along. Do you think you can keep it warm enough in the winter for tropical fish?

this is what i was thinking...

because i wanted a rtc in it and i only have a 125 wich is to small for a rtc, even if its just for the winter. so i was thinking i would go with koi for now and then next summer i will have money to heat the thing all year round, i will be able to heat the green house too, and who knows, i might end up liking koi lol
