As for temp fluctuations keep the barrel in the sun for the morning and in the shade for the hot part of the day.

Also Goldfish dont like alot of light so some floating plants like water lily's will help your fish out alot. This was our experience with our pond. Otherwise the fish just stay at the bottom or in the shade.
the only direct light it will get is going to be from about noon untill about 2 as it is in a corner of the front of the house.
