Can't Post

Hello All!!! Please help a newbie.
I have loved Koi for a long time, although I will not be able to have a pond of my own for another couple years. I did receive a free 50 gallon glass tank(with no lid) and a stand. I also purchased a new Emperor 400 filter. I know that Koi are not meant to live in a tank their whole lives, but would like to purchase 1-3 very high quality, tiny baby koi and keep them for a year or two eventually going into my pond(or I may give them away).
I would like the recommendations on the following:
- What type of heater should I get(it’s summer now and very warm, so this is not an asap need)
2.What type of top and light fixture should I get, I was told to go to a glass store to make the top?
- I have successfully had a fresh water tank along time ago and will remember to make sure and cycle the tank w/ feeder fish first, Is there anything else I am forgetting?
- I would like some tiny koi, but extremely high quality. Probably butterfly and I would like to see pictures before I purchase. I am willing to pay a good amount for them, maybe $70-$100 each. I live in Santa maria, CA, and can’t find a good source locally, is there a good website to purchase from?
THANKS!!!!!
