I am looking to see if anyone has a 55 gallon tank and a filter that I could borrow for a couple of months. I have a Koi pond and one of my expesive Koi has a lession that I will need to treat indoors and keep him indoors for the winter. I would even be willing to pay rent for the tank and filter. I am looking for a canister filter or a larger hang on filter for the back of the tank. Anyone have one I could use?
i have koi, and always used one of those kiddie pools for qt. i think that’d be better than 55 gals for a expensive koi. that way you can use a drop in filter. they hold lotsa water, 3-400 gals if i remember right. 25$
or inflatable, even cheaper,
home depot for an inexpensive reusablefilter

what kind of koi, btw?
i have a 55 gallon tank and a penguin 350. i would sell it all to u for like 50 bucks or so. i also have a catalina aquariums canister filter.
Hope it makes it through.
how big’s the koi? anything bigger than 6 inches is a tough stay in a 55, imho.
i as well have a 55 gallon and a 75 you could borrow. you scrub them to use and return them when done. have a meduim hob filter but no cartridges. but walmart has them
lemme clarify, u dont have to buy the tank, u can if u want but u can also borrow.
martins u want to sell the 75?
i have tank stand and canopy. would like to sell it all at once. first 200 takes all.
Well, you saw my 8 12 inch koi in that 110 gallon horse stock tank out back.

doing fine with a DIY trickle filter made from a dollar store plastic canister with some bio balls and a mag 5. after you are done, the trough will make a good aquatic plant fuge for the pond too.
