its 60 gallon was gonna put some small fish in but when i filled it up the side collapsed! so i put coupld of buckets to try and stabilize the water to keep it even and not more falling. Will it stay like this? or will it fall again you think? also the buckets look so ugly anything else i can use?

Those types normally go in the ground. If you want to keep it above ground you will need to build something around it like bricks or wood. I would not trust those buckets for a long term fix.
 
Lol yep, they are made to be in the ground,no wonder the thing collapsed.I actually have that same "drop in"shell in a spot in my backyard.
 
Its supposed to do that! Its meant for outdoor use. You can put cement blocks on it and try to stop it from collapsing
 
No big deal, lesson learnt is all.
Drain it, flip it over and make a stud work timber frame to fit snug around it, flip the whole thing back over and it'll be fine. Don't give up :)
