Ideal pool size?

Does this link work? http://www.rubbermaidcommercial.com/rcp/products/detail.jsp?rcpNum=4243
It's a 50 gallon black rubbermaid stock tank. 52 inches long, 31 inches wide, and 12 inches deep.

Tractor Supply keeps trying to add a location to mine and I can't get rid of it. It's not even close so I'm not sure why it's doing that. It's off by about 320 miles.

Yes, the link works. That's nice. I like that. Thanks for posting the link.

I didn't see the price. How much does it cost?

In my area they run $60-70 for a new one. I have a few 150+ gallon ones for the horses and they've held up quite well despite some roughhousing horses and icy winters. They're pretty easy to drain and clean, which is good as one of my horses occasionally leaves presents in it. I don't have any of the 50 gallon ones.

LOL, I know what your talking about with the presents in the water tub.

We use small kid pools, the smaller the better because it makes it easier to dump and clean out. Probably the best we have is the turtle sandboxes. We fill them with water and the sides don't fold and crack like the kid pools do. We have a large dug out pond with a pond liner we made for koi, but the coons and snakes and hawks don't allow us to keep our koi outside. The ducks love it though. It's like 4 feet deep and nice for the adult ducks to get good and clean.
