Indoor ponds can be a very good asset, especially during winter or when you
want to control the conditions for a hospital tank. However, before you look
at the stock tanks, consider the SIZE of them: you may not be able to
squeeze them through doorways or get them down stairs. Two alternative
suggestions come to mind: a)
http://www.pondrx.com/shop/details.p...tId=38&catId=5 These are
collapsible tanks that can be used for shows (their original intention) or
for hospital/quarantine tanks, or ... for inside use, ponds. Even outside,
they'll last several years of constant use. They have a 1.25" drain that can
be used to rig a bottom drain or circulation. And they can be taken apart
and stored in a very small space in very short order. And the b) part of the
suggestion is just as Mickey suggested: build one on site from 4 x 4's and
plywood, using a liner. Remember that if you're in a cold area and are
placing the tank on concrete, use some kind of insulation between the
concrete and the liner bottom. You may also wish to invest in a waterbed
heater or two to place between the liner and whatever the bottom is: this
will help you to regulate the heat in the pondlet better.

Hope this helps, and good luck! Let us know what you decided to do!
