the tank will be set on a 12" slab of 5000 psi concrete im not for sure of the measurements but i know it will be 6' tall by 12' wide. depth works out to what will work within the living room im building, i think around 8' to 10'. yes i want to put in sight port just in the front,glass sized to 4'x8' sheet of 1"Lexine glass, as for filtering all pumps will be outside in a heated/cooled pump house just behind the tank wall,im not for sure the total gallon amount as i have to figured out all the lengths but im guessing around 3000 gallons, the reason for building is im out of space in store bought tanks, i have 11 pacu's and im out of space plus its just something i always wanted plus i would get my swimming pool back lol and thanks to the bank it can happen now.
planning is very true thats why i plan to build a model tank with all the same items so i can see any problems ahead of time i hope
i liked the fiberglass ideal but was turned away because of the repairing every few years but if it can be sealed to last 15+ years then i would go that route
thanks for all the links i will start viewing them tonight i would like to know as much as i can about problems and what works best with large tanks before i even start my parts list,
