random question not really related to the build - would it hurt anything to swim in your monster pond? I'm planning a pretty large build myself and id love to get in it with a snorkle and hand feed my fish.
Only thing I would be worried about is anything on your skin contaminating the water, and of course scaring a ray and getting a barb for your trouble. As far as hurting the tank itself someone getting in one of these and swimming wouldn't hurt anything.
haha i think someone should do that, just make a huge tank and stock it with guppies theyve been breeding for a while, once you get say, 2000 or so in there, take one of your monster fish and throw it in there and watch the chaos begin
Just read this when i saw your other pond up for sale - read all 22 pages and it was a fantastic read, great when you can see them from start to finish with proper detailed updates to actually help other people build.
I can say for sure when i build my own tank i'll adopt parts of your build into mine.
I know you don't get chance to get over your friends house much as you said but any follow up on the tank and it's performance would be great to hear.
This is great, thanks for all the details have been sitting on the edge with plywoods but after seeing and reading this I think I have to give it a shot
