most show officials will assign the number of tanks to a competitor based on numbers and size of thier entrants. Most show tanks hold from 300 to 500 gals depending on size (6-8 footers) These koi receive air and in most cases from the water quality folks chemical binders that control contaminants until after the show. I know Chuck Downs in oklahoma had some trick water treatment processes going but the most I see around the west coast use the same method
using chemicals. This generally gets the koi thru the three days of showing....
many times these tanks have been used by hobbyists to treat sick koi or QT and
a bio filter is attached.
