thanks im gonna post a new pic with more detail and it will be scaled down a bit. i Think itll be great for some rays and big enough that the water perameters will be easy enough to maintain too. ill post the new pic as soon as i get it up. hopefully in an hour or two. 
No offense here, but, are you seriously planning this? MS Paint sketches always seem like a 5 year old drew 'em. It's pretty tough to make any kind of serious observation on your design because depending on how well you're going to plan the details, and what kind of craftsman you are, that rough sketch could turn out really nice, or turn out like a real POS.
i got the drawings done and hopefully they will make more sense. srry about the yellow, bad lighting and suckish focus on my camera 
This is the overview of the pond. looking down on it. same dementions as the other drawings but here they're blurry...
This one is a drawing of the pond looking at it from the table. kindof shows how it will look and how the lids and hinges will be placed.
This is the sump layout and how it will work. itll be placed in a bin with a pump to return the water to the pond. the water will come it and drip through holes in the drawers which will let it through the media.
This is basically just a description of the sump filter.
and thats how it will be laid out. also i will have halide lights attached to the lids on the pond so the lids wont have to be open the whole time. the pond will be lined with flexible rubber lining and the frame itself will be sealed aswell to safeguard against leaks. what do you think of the new drawings? still need more clarification? will post more if need be

srry about the blurry pics. my camera sucks at focusing. theres nothing that detailed so you can get the idea of what itll look like. and the dementions are the same as it the drawings at the top.
Looks like it's got a good start in the planning stage. What's your budget for this project, and do you plan to start on it soon?
