Well, I have my land cleared, and my 55 gallon drums for grow beds, pump sump and sink septic. This weekend I will start setting my hoops. I also have to decide on if I should use a small pool or dig a small pond and use a liner.

Is anyone using a pool for their fish tank?

I can get a small 10' diameter by 30" deep pool for $100.00 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Summer-Escapes-10-Metal-Frame-Pool/19340408

or I can dig a 10'x5'x4' deep pond with about the same water volume about 1400 gallons. The pool would be much easier but are they safe and rugged enough?

Thanks Lonnie, They are only 30" deep, which is a little shallow but not too bad.
