Is this the best (or worst) idea I've ever had?

Upon realizing it will be many years before I can afford a really monster tank, I had a bit of an ephiphany while at Walmart...

Anyone ever used those aboveground pool kits indoors? You can get 15' x 3' pools for 350 bucks. Ok, that was the cheapo version, but you can get better ones up to 2000 grand, which for 5-6 thousand gallons is still cheaper than a tank.

They're supposed to be good for several years and weather resisitant...

That is actually a really great idea. A lot of people have done this and it works great, I just suggest elevating the bottom so moisture is not stuck underneath it.

Is Toronto hot allyear round or would you be needing a heater?

This won't be for a couple years lol. I may build a frame out of 2x4s and ply and put pond liner in too. I'm worried if I get something real big (Arapaima is the eventual goal) it's come through the side of the kit pond.
