This is a pond I built last year using stacked 2x4s, plywood, and allot of resin. Its exterior dimensions of the pond are 88"x144"x36" and holds about 1500 gallons. There are 3 acrylic windows, two 6' windows on the 12' sides and a 4' window on one of the 7' sides. The pond is built extremely sturdy, you can see the complete step by step construction on this thread: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?415713
The pond has 2 tables built to sit on it, one at each end. The one in the front is used to hold a 65G and 75G tanks with built in overflows. The water just flows back into the pond through holes in the table, i used one for plant filtration and one for stingray pups. The rear table holds 2 45G trash cans filled with bio balls, water flows over the top of them and the act as trickle filters, water draining back into the pond through holes in the table.
For lighting I have 10 white LED bars installed. For more information on them see: http://www.ecoxotic.com/products/modular-led-lighting/panorama-led-modules.html
In addition to the 2 bio ball drip filters filtration is provided by an Aquabead 4.25 filter seen here: http://www.aquabead.com/AquaBead-425-Filter-AquaBead-Filters-sc-29.html and also by a fishmate sponge filter seen here: http://www.amazon.com/Fish-Mate-9000-P-UV-Powerclenz/dp/B00266T3NG There is also a 55W UV from AquaUltraviolet plumbed in with the filtration. Both filters have a backwash for easy maintance and the water for the bioball towers is prefiltered by the aquabead.
The pond, 2 tables that sit on it, and the 45G bioball fiters are all available for free. You need to bring your own trailer and moving crew for them. Its in my garage so will be relatively easy to load, you'll need 4-6 guys and a flat bed truck or trailer to move it.
The pumps and filters are available for $1300 by themselves, the lighting for $500. At retail the filtration alone is over $2000, and another $400 or so in pumps. Lighting was $1000 new. If anyone wants the full setup I will toss the lights and filters in with the pond for $1600. With them its a complete setup, just add water and fish. It is available for pick up only. I can be reached by PM on here or at 954-304-4190 Here are some pictures from a few months back of the full setup when full:
