Hey Carol. I was going to start them was 80 watt florescent lighting.
if they really get going it'll be going up to 240 watts. i got a 40
gallon tank for them. it's 36"x16"x18".

## That should do it.

i do not plan on keeping them in there any longer than i have to. as
soon as it's warm enough, they are going outside. all i really want
from them is some floating leaves and good growth, nothing more.

## I understand, you have a short season there. Here in TN they're
getting small new leaves already.

i'll also setting for them maintaining their current size and not
rotting.

## I have seldom had one to rot. I have had koi rip them from their pots
and kill them... :-(
