MFK legends I am thinking of getting this pool for my Payara and put the thing in my living room! I really could use some advice from your guys...

5,000 gallon pool
16'X4'

I was gonna get one of those hang on filters that trickle down maybe have a sump on it and put the beast of a tank in my living room with my crazy Payara.


Any better ideas, will this work, can it leak, any other suggestions?

you realize its only plastic/vinyl right? The first tooth or whatever hits the side, you've got a hole, and a leak. No way id put something with that much water inside my house.

Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it.
The chance of it getting punctured I did not consider so no doubt that is a no go.
I saw some other ones for 2,500 that my buddy uses in the UK.
They are blue made out of acrylic or fiberglass that will not puncture, with a viewing window in the front. I am considering getting something like that.
I am still looking for an acrylic monster tank though for the summer!

600 gallons 8'X4'X30"

Well I was looking for 10" and 3' high but this looks like it has massive potential! Has anyone seen something like this for sale in our area. Looks like something I might do. I have hundreds of dollars of marine pure and wanted to create a above the tank trickle filter. Just would need an acrylic see thru cover...
Any other ideas or a scratched up acrylic tank out there for me...

I see stuff like that in tractor supply. They are far from free, one that big will cost $250+.

I'm not looking for anything free.
No doubt I plan on spending some cash, I just am not in a baller position at the moment to buy a used acrylic 10x4x4 with a steel stand on craigslist for 5,000.

Just wonder with maybe adding that pvc pond liner or another puncture resisitant liner is this a cool indoor pond possibility? I saw it on ebay for 600 with free shipping.
This portable holding tank feature easy assembly and disassemble. This free standing tank is ideal for shows, quarantine or temporary quarters. The material is extremely strong and completely fish friendly. Highly tear resistant.

Liner is UV resistant
PVC support legs
Thickness is approximately 0.6mm
2 holes: top hole is 3/4" and bottle is 3/4" comes with plugs
Approximately 118" x 39.4" 1868gal
Here was some of that liner...
5' x 20' 20 mil PVC Koi Pond & Water Garden Liner
