I am out of the loop on many things in your life and hobby, so can't say much specific. But generally speaking, this comes with the territory. I've committed similar blunders many times except not on a carpeted area. Dealing with about 50,000 gal of fish tank water, I have many critical things that must be started and stopped in time. Each has its own ponytail band. Start - the band goes on the wrist. Stop - off.
Will root for yah no matter what.
You can set the tank on cinder blocks (as real men do) in a large water catchment basin. Install a window in that basin and voila! You have a pond with a window and pilings too you didn't have before. When you conveniently overfill the pond, you set it in another water catchment basin. And so on.
Eventually, you can finish the series at a point you desire with a swimming pool and you'll have your own Jaws water park for the living room. Who else could compare to you then? You'll be a hero to your kids. As for the wife, I liked Galantspeedz train of thought...
These should jump start your thinking marbles:
Or you can go redneck style. It is appeasing to some.
If that doesn't scratch you where you itch, consider Russian style:
And finally, for the wife..., except filled with 4' redtails and 8' arapaima:
