ABove ground plastic holding tank?

[Coolibabes]

Would there be any issues holding all my fish in one of those huge round (10ft) inflatable above ground plastic pools for a few weeks/months?

Fish list:
Snowflake eel
Harlequin Tuskfish
Banggai Cardinal
Cleaner Wrasse
Biclour Blenny
Linkia Starfish
Vlamingii Tang
Yellow Tang
Redsea Sailfin Tang
Blue Tang
Queen Angel
Emperor Angel
Blueface Angel
Flame Angel
3 x Chromis
2 x Mandarins
2 x Occy Clowns

I will cover the top with egg crate preventing any fish from attempting to escape. I am looking for a quick setup & dismantling solution and the above ground pool was the best one I could think of. Does anyone have any other options/suggestions to house the above fish list for a period of time?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

I would not do it, If one of the fish puncture the inflatable ring or poke a hole in the sides it could end poorly. Plus i would not trust the vinyl from leeching stuff.
Might be better to house them in a plastic swimming pool.

Sorry Creetin...I actually meant one of those 10ft plastic swimming pools!
I was looking at the ones made by INTEX. See link below

There's 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tanks. That's what I would do- tried and proven.

+1 on the rubber made stock tanks... very comparable on price as your link and some of those pools have an algeacide impregnated in the vinyl

iam concerned that your snowflake will find the eggcrate as a perfect escape route to go carpet surfing

You do realize a 15' x 3' cylinder pool, is almost 4000 gallons? If you wanted to fill that with a 100gpd RO/DI unit, it would take over 40 days to fill. The cost of salt? A typical 5gal bucket of salt makes 160 gallons, you would need 25 buckets, at $40 each, that's $1000.

The link was just as an example of the pool I am interested in. I was more after the smaller 10' one. I do not make my own water, I have natural salt water delivered to my door. MUCH CHEAPER! The more you buy, the less you pay!

Thanks for the info. I guess that settles it, definately not going to contemplate the plastic pool!

Unfortunately the 300gal rubbermaid is not so readily available here in Sydney, Australia and would probably cost and arm and a leg to get it.

What about something like this:

That may do the trick. I will check if they have something like that here in AUS!

Those portable tanks are really cool!

Yeah we used to use them all the time at Koi shows, very durable vats.
