That's one heck of a pot It should be plenty large for GF

As Matt has mentioned, they are very messy and big eaters. Keeping that in mind, keep the number of fish to a minimum.

Weekly maintenance with GF is a must, imo, and you probably already know this. Clean the filters in outgoing changewater to preserve bacteria colonies, siphon out all the crud you can, and change at least 15% of their water.

Are you planning on overhead lighting for this monster pot? We used plain old halogen pendant lights. They were enough to grow algae on the sides of our indoor pond. The GF ate the algae with gusto

Would love to see pics of the set up once you get it cycled and stocked

thanks for the feedback ill post some pictures once the pot is all set up, but I don't expect it will be until Oct or so as we are building a new house.
