Concrete aquarium

Koo9 I work with it some and know a few masions I am asking for help just was hoping for a formula to show how strong it needs to be
Very strong for vertical support, but you'll likely need rebar and concrete to use them as an aquarium wall. A covering of sorts (e.g., sealant) will likely be needed for several reasons.
An experienced mason would be able to do this easily, imo, but I'd be careful trying this on your own.
I'm leaning towards the same idea for my tank and I'm sold that a professional mason who has worked on walls that will be exposed to constant high humidity or water is who I need to employ.

I'm sure there's a way to do it yourself, albeit would need to do lots of research.
If you wait a few months, the king of diy is going to be building one just like this

Im a concreter by trade, I've done a couple ponds/pools using pool blocks. There's and add mix for the concrete made by a company called zypex makes the concrete completely waterproof. I'm sure there's a u.s equivalent.
