are you going to have any bracing throught the middle of it?

Nope..... I doubled up the 2x4's on top and overlapped the corners, pretty tough as it stands without bowing. Water level is only about 2' so the outward pressure is not as dramatic. I'll update pics.
 
This is the styrofoam being inlayed. I only used .5" styro. for puncture resistance from splinters and somewhat of an insulation.

Looks Great, Cant Wait to see it finished! How are you going to secure the pond liner in place?

Staples will hold the liner in place and a top trim will be secured to sandwich the liner..... typically won't slip down due to pressure/weight of water.

cheaper to build it yourself LOL

AGREED! I'm sure he was being sarcastic since everybody wants everything shipped and 5% of those request are serious..... :ROFL:
 
Couple more pictures.....

Filling the bottom with a little bit of water (weight) to take out the wrinkles and tuck in the corners.....
