I'm in process of building a 600 gallon concrete tank
Dimensions are 10' x 3' x 3'

ok the tank was going to be little pond/fountain, but after thinking a lot of the idea of a big tank changed the plans for a 3 x 4 mini pond to what IMO is a big tank (with a fountain to make my mom happy)


here are some photos

What is glass/acrylic thickness is necessary for this?

I'm not doing it myself, but just for being sure about it. (the builder don't seem like experienced on glass, more like fountains and ponds, but is the only around ...)
 
Today while i´m at work, the workers are laying a waterproof concrete layer, and starting with the fountain details, there is going to be another layer of black epoxy, the one used for potable water.

also i was bored at work so did this sketch of the tank:

this tank is almost complete, here are the new pictures,
now the final dimensions are 114x36x30 so its 533.75 gallons + 54 gallons of filter area.

the stock is going to be my four black aros, so a net will be nailed at the top.
