Thanks Cecil for your input as I am fairly new to tank culture. My plans were to use a flood/drain media grow bed. The way I understood these style systems is the media(bacteria in it) acts as your biofilter.
I hadn't thought about parasites coming from the pond. I did grow rainbow trout in a 150gal tank with 10gal/min pumping through it with no issues. I only had them in there for 1 month or so though.
I will be using the 34ac lake for this.
