Nice so far....
Your dimensions are basically
96 x 75 x 64 (assuming outside)
460800 cubic inches or 1995 gallons
less the triangle cut out of 48 x 75 x 32
115200 cubic inches
57600 cubic inches (half the rectangle)
250 gals
Net 1745 gals
*****
Unfortunately it looks more like the inside measurements are closer to 80 x 64 x 75 (laying 10 courses?)
A block is 15 5/8 inches long plus mortar, let's call it 16.
Now you are looking at 1660 gals less the triangle at 170 gals is a net of 1490 gals.
I am not trying to correct you, just to give you a better understanding of your filtration needs.
Again nice work ....
Thanks For All The Post. We Are Four Block high Now And Will be Getting More Block In Tomorrow Night, Then We Have To Bring Are Glass In 62"X54"x1" Fingers Crossed It Makes it, Cost $1040. Will Keep Updating As we Go On.
P.S. Its Alot Of Cement

JK I'd probably set up a sweet native tank with some Large Mouth, Smallies, Sunfish, couple of Cats maybe some Crappie...school of perch. Thats my nativeness thought. My real dream would be Marine though. but that is the dolla bills ya'll.
