Need personal experience info on sitting up tank for Koi. There are many sites and all of them differ. I have 55 gallon water troughs Rubber Maid that i have for my horses. These are very sturdy and some have heating capabilities. My hope would be to use one of these minus the heater. Adding water from my pond and aeration while keeping a close eye on my water quality, I could quarantine new fish for 3 or 4 weeks. Also, I would hope to leave this outside near my pond so fish would acclimate to colder weather coming. In Virginia we are at the beginning of fall season and we are in zone 7. Covering to keep predators and leaves out would also be necessary! What else do I need to do or am I on the right track?
