Sorry that this keeps dragging on. We are trying to move from KY to FL on a very limited budget. Trying to sell a house, and buy a place at the same time, having lived in this house for 22 years, trying to accomadate 7 dogs...well it has just been a bit overwhelming.
Anyway, as we get closer to our goal, I have a few questions. I may have asked these before...if so, please be patiant with me.
-We found a good deal on a 150gal rubbermaid stock tank, but have heard (read) people say this is really to small for outside due to small size causing temps to go up and down to much. We are skimming the bucket financially, and this is what we can afford att. Also, if we do not sell before cold temps set in, stock tank needs to come inside, and 150 is all I can fit in current house. Anyone have any luck with this size outside?
-Would the stock tank need to be positioned so that it gets shade part of the day? If in full sun, is manmade shade ok?
-When the move happens, what is the safest way to transport Clarence? It is about a 14 hour drive.
-When we finally do this, we will be selling a 150g tank and stand, if anyone in KY area is interested. Tank is painted blue on back (which I actually love after trying to put a backing on our last tank lol) and stand is black.
Thanks in advance for any answers/advice.
