As I have mentioned, I have not successfully established my kiddie pool yet
but I love the concept. $10 for 4 or 5 years seems like quite a bargain.
Since I want mine mostly for plants they also provide a much greater surface
area, per gallon, than the stock tanks I have seen. I would think the stock
tanks are a better if you wanted the extra depth for more and bigger fish
and are going to set up more a little pond. I have seen the 'pros' using
them both as holding tanks for new fry and veggie filters, but typically not
as much in an ornamental setting.

A one hundred gallon stock tank will cost you up to $150.00.

I don't know what you're buying, but I bot a 110 gallon stock tank for
$59. at
TSC and I can buy a 300 gallon for under $100.

And a note, I used a swimming pool in Houston and at about 5 years, it
needed
to be replaced, it didn't have the durability.
