I am aware of the forum, and never stated that this was not possible to be lifted off the ground. But using a few cinder blocks and a sheet of plywood will 100% absolutely not hold over 8300 pounds. No where is that ever stated in the DIY forum.
Yes they make plywood aquariums, some 600gallons (never seen a 1000g+ ply aquarium that was lifted) but the ply tanks that are on stands are custom built to withstand thousands of pounds... Not cinderblocks placed in random positions.
I wasn't insinuating that cinder blocks and a sheet of plywood was sufficient or that you were in error. I was giving the OP additional information if he wanted to raise his tank off of the ground and quoted your post to bring his attention to those forums, sorry for the confusion about my intent
Can't wait to see this taking shape. Geez what you could do with 1000 gal. I'd Either be doin a peacock bass set up or heaps of different SAs- e.g GTs, oscars, Severums, chocolates, festivum and possibly some uaru. Would love to stock a pond that size lol.
Good luck on the build! Remember to take your time and do it right the first time, any mistakes with 1000 gallons of water could mean big $$$ disasters down the road.
Also for my suggestion, I would go with really large specimens so you can see the clearly from the top, like some beefy peacock bass would look dope in my opinion.
