I know this can be done, but how is the best way to go about it?
Info about tanks: Two 125g on a dual stand. Neither tank is drilled. These will each hold 4 koi for the winter, so maximum filtration and bio is a must. Next year the koi will be too big for the tanks and I still plan on making a pond for them in the basement. At that point these tanks will be used for other fish I’m sure. So I’ll want a setup that can be permanent.
This is the picture from the seller I got the tanks from.
I do not want to drill the tanks. So I’ll need to make overflows for them.
Thinking about it now.... I’m not sure how that will work for the bottom tank.
My initial thought was to make a sump with a big garbage can. But now I don’t know if that will work. Would a tank on the floor next to the stand be a better option? Will that even work with the tank on the bottom of the stand?
I’d love any and all ideas on how to filter these tanks on one system.
