im building a tank outta wood with a glass front. its 10ft long 6ft wide, 3ft tall, 1350 gallons!

i would post pics but unless you want to look at a pile of wood a saw and an air nailer, it aint that interesting...lol.

its gunna be a native tank.

that's gonna be an incredibly thick and expensive piece of glass/acrylic. It would just be a plywood tank. When you think of a pond, indoor or out you generally assume that you only have a top view. You'll have a plywood tank

im getting two sheets. 2'10" x 4' 9" each, theres will be a brce in the center of the tank. for 3/4" acrylic its $553 or for a 1/2" glass, its $435. ill prolly go with glass 'cause it wont scratch as easily and large catfish tend to kick up the substrate alot, wich could scratch the glass/acrylic easily.

I would go with glass. Much easier to remove algae.

I wanna see pics of this beast when it is done!

 

[nativelover]

of course!!! ill have a book published of nothing but pics of this thing!

i also need tips on a lid....canopy or open with a light bar? and filtration, ill have two pond pumps in it and an external filter, should i drill for piping or hang the pipes over the back/sides?

Before you drill the first guide hole, ditch the nail gun. Use SS screws all around. The won't 'pull' like nails will.

good eye oddball...i didnt even think about the pressure pulling out the nails...
