New Indoor Pond Idea

[greatfulxdead]

I just recently came across these fiberglass tanks with the window in front. I'm going to buy one, but it will be ugly since it will be bright blue. So I'm going to make an enclosure out of 2x4s and wood paneling to cover the blue. Here are my sketches. The last one is the tank I will be using.

Thats a cool ooking vat! Viewing window built in, cool.

That's a very cool pre-made pond. How many gallons does it hold and how much are they charging you for it if you don't mind me asking?

Where can I get one of these?

Here's the URL. They go up to 632 Gallons! Way cheaper than class or acrylic.

I can't wait to get started. I'm probably getting the 128 gallon. (48"x30"x24")

I'm most likely going to lay a 48" aquarium light on top and get a big heater, but any ideas on filtration?

diy filter out of a 20 gal rubbermaid tub, also in a 2x4 wood panneled enclosure, with a stock list of medium catfish, unless you decide to go the larger tank route, then l would say larger catfish, with an assortment of larger cichlids
