I've just purchased two 8.5 foot by 5.5 foot metal framed INTEX above ground swimming pools.
I found the pair on Ebay for $140. The type with the better, 3 ply liners for UV protection.
I'm planning on assembling them side by side with twin 750 GPH pumps powering overhead gravity filters full of plastic pot scrubbers and filter media with spray bar returns. Simple. Cheap.
I want to catch some more Midas Cichlids. And attempt to farm them.
I have a spot in Miami where I found very colorful Midas. And I'd like to attempt to breed some for sale.
My last attempt(s) were in a small 100 gallon aquarium. Indoors. These are just over 1,000 gallons each. And it'll be outdoors. I'm hoping that it will stop the fighting, with some sight barriers.
Fighting stopped my last attempts.
Pairs didn't work. Trios of one Male and two females worked better and this is what I want to place in each pool.
I'll photograph and post as the project comes along.
I suppose if this is a success, I'll be placing another, larger pool in the yard as a "grow out" area. But that's kinda jumping the gun at this point.
