I am helping out a pal with his business and he bought his son a butterfly koi a few months ago. Apparently, the guy grew faster than he anticipated and he had to switch out of the modest ten gallon tank. So he decided to line a half wooden barrel with plastic and create the new environment. My question is this...since I helped prepare the barrel I have some vested interest in the survival of the koi...what kind of filtration system is necessary, if any, to insure proper water quality?
There are plants in there that were just purchased and plans to pick up a few aquatic snails, the water was treated and is running through a fountain like set-up for aeration but I was wondering if any further steps should be taken...
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated...
