      My new Qtank outdoor

      Got rid of my 600 gal indoor tank. So I'm in need just a smaller Qtank and outdoor this time. Just put the frame together and hardboard around (2 hours labor). Waiting for liner to arrive then will finish the tile outside. OD 4'×3'×3'depth. I'D 3.4'×2.4'×3' would be close to 200 gallons (space is limited here).

      Nice! And it looks like the inspectors approve.

      What are you using for filters/plumbing?

      I think you will need an indoor tank for next winter Sid. Time to think about your build.

      Thank you sir
      Filter will be just simple, a submersible pump to 5gal diy gravity flow bucket. I will have to see how thing goes, can alway add a mini shower later.

      I have the 1/70"~362microns now and use 1/100"~254 microns for my main pond. Fit nicely into a 5gallon bucket Jeff

      Go big or go home

      Old pump 40w/550g
      New pump Periha 20w/....?
      Flow way more than the old aquarium pump
      Definitely the right choice

      Nice seeing you today my friend.

      I enjoy looking at your koi, they grow so big just from feeding Sea Side Aquatics Premium Koi Food.
