Just like the title says lol

I do not know what to do cement or pond liner ? Any idea ? Also it's going to be above ground by a glass or acrylic windows also should I do acrylic ? Or glass?
Do I need a bottom drain? I don't think it's to popular in indoor pond for exotic fish mostly for koi ponds but when ever I google indoor pond bottom drain I only get koi ponds
Should I use a aquarium filter? Or a pond filter my koi pond which is 1600 gallons has a Laguna 3200 built in uv works good does its job but it's not the best filter
I am thinking about adding 2 Laguna 3200 which is rated for I think 3,000 gallon ponds
Or I get a few FX5 idk much about filteration yet but I'm adding a uv
I'm making the prints right now sketches will post them soon
Pond is going to be 1000G maybe 2
It's mostly for aros and datnoids masheers maybe stingray
It's not going to be heavily planted hmm that's about it lol thanks

There are so many pros and cons regarding the different construction methods, it's really something you need to investigate and decide for yourself. My personal preference would be all glass for up to 2000L, steel or timber framed tank for something up to 3-4000L, anything bigger than that and I'd probably look at going for poured concrete. Filtration, again many options and something you need to decide yourself, IMO best two options would be a large bead filter or a big sump. Or both if you prefer.

I was thinking about a bead filter for my koi pond but there kinda to big for indoor ?

Why are you going to need a big UV?

Lol idk I just said big uv but I don't know is this is true or not uv can kill parasites ich stuff like that?
I just have to figure a way out to get the liner and the glass in toghther unless I don't do glass or
Make a glass square with out the top that would be like a big tank then
