Gunther, 4 months and Gracie, 2 months old are outgrowing their kiddy pool. I'm thinking for now to get a large water trough 8 or 10 feet across. One would hold about 550 gallons, other 1,100 gallons. Wish I could find one only a foot deep but the large ones are 2 feet deep. Please tell me if I'm thinking correctly. The more water the less I'd have to empty and refill to keep clean. Is that right?....but how long would it take botulism or something else harmful to grow in the water? Maybe having a smaller trough and changing it more often would be better. Have you had experience with swans in troughs? How much water and how often did you empty and refill? I need to do a lot of research before considering having a pond built. I've read kiddy pools are ok for the Black Australian swans but I know they need more water by their actions. There is also a 6 foot across that holds about 330 gallons. Any suggestions or input................Please!!!!!
Thanks Much.
