Jim T Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Is it safe for fish to use galvanized steel trough for a fish pond? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I would recommend against it. Zinc build up can kill fish. Here’s an article on that. I recommend a food-grade feeding stock tank from Tractor Supply. I use 40 gallon, but most serious tub folks buy larger than that… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) I do believe it depends on the materials. I seem to recall Rachel O'Leary had a few metal ponds and I do not know if they were plants only, but I will attach her video below on tubs. You can toss in a liner too just to do it that way. If you haven't seen Zenzo's pond, I highly recommend checking that out as well! Edited June 30 by nabokovfan87 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepere Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Galvanized troughs can be painted on the interior with an epoxy based pond liner paint as well to make the interior inert. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
