Update:

Sitting mostly empty now, just enough water left in the bottom for the Pacu and they'll be going next Sunday.

Got some of the fish advertised for sale on the market place here if anyones interested, there's also a couple of Plecos and a couple of Clarius that also need to go if anyone's interested.

Is sad seeing the pond like this Must hurry and move so i can build another!

I am sorry that you have to take this apart. Since you are building another one what are your plans on making it different?

This is still the plan:

so very different! Liking the idea of a giant aquarium look rather than pond design.

Cheers mate, just a shame the current fish will never get to see it. Now hurry up and finish yours so you can take some of them

If i was going to do the same style and size again, then the main thing i'd do different would be having the windows going all the way to the bottom as I had originally planned. That would mean the glass could sit on the bottom for support rather than having to be held in a frame and the black liner sealant i have sticks liner to glass very very well, much better than the silicone is to the metal.

For something more permanent (this was only going to be here 3 years max anyway) i'd have used more than one liner too and try and find a proper blue liner rather than using the tarp for colour. blue definately looks better for this scenario than black would have imho.

the big problem really was not sealing the tank but more the window being held in place well enough to seal the tank. If i am getting you right. then I think i have figured out how i am sealing my tank. what was the black sealant that you used called?

Pacu all gone

Yep that's about it, the metal frames just added another seal which wouldn't have been needed if the windows had gone all the way to floor, and sealing to metal seems to have been the problematic bit.

Black sealant is:​

GOLD LABEL
POND
AQUARIUM
SEALER​

It's very good stuff, i'd use it over silicone anyday. Sticks everything with a waterproof seal, non toxic and can set underwater so is fish safe, and none of the nice strong smells that silicone gives off either.​
