tropical pond in east coast

[oscaroo]

I am a kid so this might be hard to do. How much should it cost for an electric heater for a 100-200 gallon pond.

I heat mine, and have had it up to 80 degrees in the winter. At 70 gegrees it runs me about $50.00 to $75.00 per month.

Cool Pond!!

I would think a 200 gal. tank indoors will be cheaper in the long run.

Winter maintenace is an issue....

How much money are you willing to spend?

 

[oscaroo]

Well my dad will probably not let me have a 200 gallon aquarium in "his house". My biggest aquarium is 75 gallons. I was thinking 300 dollars.

Why not do a cool native pond? You could have some sunfish and perch

If you really have your mind set on a tropical pond, put this over your pond:http://www.warmgreenhouses.com/prod...e-greenhouse-fhsp300.aspx?CAWELAID=1123413254. Then put a greenhouse heater in and also put in a pond heater and you might be able to keep a tropical pond.

You probably would pay around $300.
