Has anybody kept an outdoor aquarium?
I'm toying with the idea of setting one up for the summer. I'd probably go with a 10-20 gallon open top with live plants. I have a lot of shaded area so I should be okay with algae. I'll set a bucket of water out to monitor the temp. It does get pretty hot where I live (100°+). The area I'm thinking is much cooler. Probably closer to 80°.
Haven't thought too much about livestock. Probably some shrimp.
I don't think I'll go with a heater and let the plants do the filtering.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
