its one of those plastic koi ponds....

can i put a window in the side safly so it never leaks?

if so how would one go about doing this?

thanks!
 
Yeah, you could, but I have no idea how you'll go about doing it.
 
if you can settle with doing it so it only comes up to under the ribs it should be fairly straight forward but otherwise you may have some bracing and bowing issues as the ribs are there for strength.

just cut your window and cut the acrylic (better for the flexing this tank will be susceptible to) 1.5 inch or more over sized on all sides and then create two stainless frames that will be drilled with the window to sandwich the the whole thing together. Use silicone as well to seal the window
 
make sure you lay it on the bottom before filling or all the water will fall out!!

:D
 
yeah just make a frame out of stainless steel then bolt through .use silicon to creat a gasket and the water pressure will hold it in place mostly :)
