Overall tank dimension
800cm long x 250cm wide x 150cm tall

The right left and the back will be 25cm thick concrete wall. The front will use 12+12mm laminate tempered viewing window.

For filtration i will use 2 side sumps, right and left. All the plumbings will use 3in pipe. The pumps will adjust accordingly to get 7x turnover rate.

Too many details to write down here it will be TLDR lol..

I hope this will be ready before the end of this year.

Im treating the tank just like my other big tanks. But with alot more plumbings to make things simpler during maintenance. It is no where close to fancy koi filtrations.

Bottom drain in the display tank and in the sumps chamber for monthly tank and sump maintenance connected with gate valve is in the design also. To clean any waste trapped inside the pipe lines i just need to open the valve monthly.

The corners of main display will be a quarter circle to allow a smooth flow throughout the entire tank.

There will be 8 filter intakes, all at ground level. I am planing to use no sands or substrates to make things easier for me.

There will be also wier for skimming the surface.

The floor will be angled so all the wastes are goin to the desired spots where there are filter intakes.

For decors i will think about it later as i want to make the fish as the main display not the decors
