I have seen (and helped build) several small above ground ponds that were enclosed in greenhouses and they help control the evaporation. High humidity plants are best fot them. Although I am not experienced with saltwater fish I see no reason it will not work. Be patient on cycling it in and careful to maintain a stable salinity level and you should be fine.

Honestly I love saltwater, dragon wasses and lion fish but I think if that is it you will be very dissapointed building a pond for these fish. The dragon wrasse shows great behavior flipping rocks and digging in the sand, and the incredible finage of the lionfish are both best seen form the side. I feel that most salwater fish are best seen from the side. A pond would be great for sharks, or truely odd fish like a bunch of cuttlefish. I would be upset if I could only see my saltwater fish from above. My 2 cents is to set up a 90 gallon glass for the wrasse and lionfish, and build a salt pond for sharks or rays

I have to agree. I would go sharks or rays. Bamboo stay smaller and I have had a lot of luck with mine in a 300gl. My only problem with salt is what you have to pay for water changes. It gets costly. I am upgrading my current system with a 100gl sump to add live rock and plants, to try to cut down on the water changes.

oddball had an outdoor saltwater pond it leopard sharks in it.

if he did it outdoors with a fish that is highly sensitive to water quality exposed to the elements the damnit it can definately be done indoors
