It isn't set up anymore so this is just the box

pool is 244cm x 76cm (8' x 30')

2419L or 639 gallons

again I view this only as a temporary home for him..When I graduate nursing he wil be living the good life..3000 gallons it is!!:headbang2

won't he pop it? its need a liner.


yeah its not yet ready to hold anything yet thats why i'm asking help from you guys to set up and modify it while the fish is still small..so what exactly do I do w/ it to make it RTC proof and what kind of filtration would suffice?

I would put a tarp or 2 on the inside if you wanted to keep it cheap. As for the filtration id say at least a 3,000gal gph pump (11350LPH not sure if thats the right conversion) And a 55gal trash can set up as a big cannister filter FULL of scrubbies or some other bio media. Or a large 3-4 drawer rubbermaid plastic drawer tower. 2 make a drip tower with. Just fill them with bio media. Both options would be very cheap

Ok I have cut an old piece of PVC pipe laying around at our house and scrubbed it till it was squeaky clean then soaked it in hot water with salt to sterilize...Let it sit for a day then I put it in already..So far RTC is not hiding in pipe yet..Is this okay what i did?

Your "aussie aro" is a jardini.

hmmm, that blue box on top is your only filter, yes? you must change the water very frequently. It is not going to be enough (probably not enough already as it is) ....

good luck. your inflatable pond is not a really good idea as RTC has spines .... try to find something more solid
