Picked up some kids plastic clam shells today for $12 each with the idea to maybe use them as a pond.
They are about 900mm dia and I can get about 150mm of water in there leaving about 50mm to the top. So the volume is approx 130L.
Its on the western side of the house under a covered area, so will only get the very late afternoon sun.
It looks crap, not as big as Id like and not sure how the plastic will fair. So im left wondering a few things...
Are my goldies better off in the slightly bigger volume tank in the garage with artificial light where they are now?
I often struggle in summer keeping my tanks under 28/30 deg in the garage. This is pretty hot for goldies, would this outdoor pond maintain a lower temp maybe because of the greater surface area and get a chance to cool overnight?
any other concerns or comments are surley welcome....
