it is amazing what redneck ingenuity can accomplish. I like coming up with new ideas for tanks and ponds and can't wait to see how this one turns out. how much would it cost for a pair of motoro pups and a bd pup?

good luck on your pond 
i was thinking of doing a pond system so that in the summer time, i could put my rays outside and then fall-spring keep them indoors. prolly would be a massive pain to have to move them and they don't need the stress, plus knowing my luck, either my cat/wild animal would make chow of them, or just as bad, i'd find dead critters/my cat in the pond -_- he's brave, and smart, but has a knack for trouble.

all cats do lol. could I possibly keep an aro in the pond as well as the three rays or do I not have enough space?
For something that size, I really like these cartridges from Red Sea. I use a Little Giant mag drive pump with them. There area couple styles if you want to add UV or a finer micron filter.

That is the same stock tank I am planning on useing. I bought two of them and will be setting them up soon. I went with pond filters also and will also be tucking in the two Fx5's I have were they are not seen. The filters I bought connect to a water fall sysyem, so I will have a water fall affect on each pond. Both ponds will have stone walls in the front for looks. Setting them up in the basement near the theater room.. Our basement is out hang out area to play pool, watch movies, have a drink at the bar, etc.. so I figured it be the coolest place to put them. As long as some guest doesnt spill a beer in the tanks.. Will have to watch for that..
you have enough room for a Aro also, but the main problem you may have is him jumping out of the pond. Aro's will jump is they get scared.. So its something you need to watch out for. I have a Aro also with my rays, and when I get our pond finished, the Aro will prob just stay in the tank he is in. Dont want to take a chance. Ive already lost one Aro to him jumping out of the tank when I was not home (someone left the lid open), and I for sure dont want my foot and a half long Aro doing the same thing..
Unless you are going to put a good lid over the entire pond then an arowana is not a good idea. I have seen them jump to there death just from little gaps in a DIY lid.
