Just wondering, what your guys opinions would be on whether to get a tank or a stock pond? My parents told me if I get a tank bigger than 200gallons it has to go in the basement or I pay to add more support to the floor, so i was wondering what you guys would choose a 350 gallon glass tank with stand or a 500gallon Rubbermaid stock pond(possibly a little bigger) to go in the basement. This will be for peacock bass mainly, so if I get pond I know I will have to make a cover or raise the wall of it so that they do not jump out. The reason I am asking is there is a 350gallon tank next to me with the wet dry, stand, and hood for $1000, but for that same amount I could set up at least a 500 gallon stock pond in the basement so I don't knot which to do. Which ever I choose will be sitting on the floor of my cement basement. The problem is I have no experience with a pond or any fish over 10 inches on top of that lol so I dont know what kind of filtration Im looking at here. Would a wet/dry filter be enough? Or do I need a sump tank and if I do how big? Also is a wet/dry filter enough or will I need oxygen pump? What kind of heating am I looking at? And anything else Im missing that I need? This all stuff Im trying to figure out now before I make the wrong choice.
This is somewhat of a repost from a different section mainly because the way i worded the first post was awful and confusing, and I figured posting in this section would bring a greater response.
