if you have a plastic stock tank a 100watt aquarium heater will work as long as you
can cover the stock tank in plastic. plastic holds the heat in. and all you have to
do is spike the temp for a couple days (I think) and then let the temp drop by 2o or
so per day. in your necks of the woods, that should happen. here is basics for
quarantine

ignore the heat up at the end, that was before this heat activated plaque hit. I
would do the heat activation after 2 weeks then give em 2 weeks to see if they break
out.

so you are absolutely sure you just gotta have this new koi, that you wont be happy
without it being in your pond??? Ingrid

Hmmm, thanks for that info. I hate to expose any of my koi. I like them
all. I would go get one at Petco, but I thought the point was to use a fish
that has been living in your own pond. Also, how do you heat up your QT?
Are tank heaters expensive?
