If you scroll down far enough on this page, looks like there would be a bit of breeding going on in this pond too....

It's a market research study on selling, farming etc., but I think answers some of our questions...

So are you going to round out the internal corners or is it too late to change the design? Looks like there would be the space to do it, but, looking at the pic, looks like you've already started sealing the walls....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're building the new tank directly onto the side of your existing tank, aren't you? Had to take a look at the pics to make sure...
You building new filtration too..? And are you gonna make construction of the new one into an article as well..? So many questions....

I am going to leave it rectangular........very hard to do in block....could be formed in concrete but i am not sure about the amount of work and the loss of volume in the tank.

all will be revealed..................yes it sits flush with the end of the existing tank ( which my son wants to go saltwater with)...........the new tank is a complete standalone system not tied to the current tank.....
