Hello im planning on building a concrete pond....The monsters i have ryt now are a 12" Silver Arowana,5" Male Managuense,5" Red Tailed Catfish x Tiger Shovelnose Catfish,6" Common Pleco.And Will Also get me a RedTailed Giant Gourami....sooner or later and a Jardini,and a Oxydoras Niger with some Peacock Basses (Monos).But the thing is what are the tools in making a Concret Pond...well its not technically a pond but like a large aquarium made of cement like those you see in Zoo's.....It will be in my downstairs room....but the whole room measure as 13'x18'x9'....and i cant fill that whole space since if it is filled i can only see the tank through my door...and stuff.So i was thinking if it was possible to make the concrete tank 9'x6'x6'...for all of them to be in...and what would be the total gallons for that dimension as im not good with those calculations.What would the needed tools be? Objects need for building the tank? How big of a acrylic piece sheet would be best to see the whole tank in the frontal view...?

seems to be too much water for us to pay off our bill so ill cut the size of the tank down and go for a 720 gallon tank made of concret with a 1"-2" thick plexiglass.And ill only have the Silver arowana,Managuense,RTC x TSN,Oxydoras Niger,Jardini,And the pleco...or is that too stocked?
I would consider it overstocked, depending on their size and if they grew up together and the filtration system you use, it could work, I just prefer a little more water between my fish

Did you check out Johnptc's build? and his stocking level.
Atleast the new size will be easier to cover.

their will also be some other filters too like maybe 2 emperor 400s on each sides of the width...and in the back will be 6 emperor 400s.So 10 emperor 400s and the 100 gallon wet/dry filter will be the filtration that ill use
