One tub at a time

Fits the garden cart perfectly.


Stacked up and a nice place to store the cart.


Another look.

The New Favorite Ranchu Tub

Just bought 5 of these tubs which were lightly used by a pet store for fish or bunnies and guinea pigs. They are 70x47x23 inch, 341 gallon free standing pond by Leguna. Well built of heavy duty hdpe/hdpp.
The label says 195 gallon but they are actually 341 gallons.
Here are the tank details:

Pond Fish

These fish are from a one acres retention pond of goldfish and koi in the coast range at approximately 1000 foot elevation. It is situated in a draw with the hills to the south. Rushes surround the pond at the water line and up the main draw and a smaller side draw to the three springs that feed the pond. No pictures because every thing was in the clouds and the rain was pouring. Fortunately it was warm because I was up to my knees catching fish in a smaller holding pond for three hours in the pouring rain. It was heaven.
120 commons (60 in this bowl)
25 Sarassas and Blue Bellies

Five Lightly Used Laguna Ponds PT796

Approximately 6x4x2 black molded ponds. Much better suited to goldfish than the rabbits and guinea pigs that were housed in them at a pet store. Oh yeah and under the pond is my 200 gallon insulated bonar box with about 200 large common and sarassas.
