This might be a silly question I've got this monster of a tank (2m by 600mm by 600mm). I am thinking of putting it outside and was wondering if there are any pros or cons or suggestions from members. I am thinking of just keeping large gold fish in it nothing too fancy or specilised. Large as in body size exculding tails 10cm. What do you all think?? Crazy idea. How many of this size fish could I keep in a tank this size?? Would 8 be too many??

no not crazy, and eight would be fine.

Cheers

Depends on the size of the fish. You will get a lot of algae growth on the glass and keep an eye on water evaporation. It is amazing how fast it evaporates in the sun!

As inside, make sure the base is stable and level. Of course, cracks on an outside tank are not as costly as having a tank crack when inside.

Watch out for the sun on the top bracing. The braces at the ends will expand more than the side panels in direct summer sunlight. It could cause the tank to crack. If you can cover the bracing so it doesn't get hot there should be no worries...
