<div><em><strong>Raegan T</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I have over 400 gallons in aquariums and I just got a 100 gallon. I was wondering if I could use my goldfish/koi pond water to help get it t started? The pond is 1500 gallons, so if I filled it up the pond wouldn&#8217;t miss it. The pond doesn&#8217;t have any problems with algae, the fish are in perfect health and the pond is self-sustaining. I only have a small fountain in the middle to help oxygenate the water.<br />
I have already set up quite a few aquariums successfully. I don&#8217;t need anymore education on that.</p>
<p>The water in my pond is balanced. The ammonia, nitrates, ph level ETC are all where they should be. I won&#8217;t use spring water, either. It&#8217;s no better than tap.<br />
Yes, setting up an aquarium successfully is a good feeling, but I have done so for 5 20 gallons, 2 50 gallons, 2 75 gallons, and 5 10 gallons. After awhile it loses it&#8217;s touch.</p>
<p>Yes, I am going it put goldfish in it. I don&#8217;t have any in the house yet and I would love to.<br/><br/>Joelly</div>
