Look into large fiberglass tub ponds with acrylic viewing windows.

First of all, welcome to the site.

You're obviously new here so we don't know a thing about you. Are you new to the hobby? Have you got good background experience in running a huge set up like that? What is your DIY skill set like or do you plan on hiring someone to build this for you?

A general understanding for us of where you're at ,experience wise, in the hobby would help us a little more in advising you.

Curious, why are you partitioning such a large tank?

thanks for your responses
i am from southern part of india.
I know the aquarium basis, like water cycle, fish breeding methods, aggressive vs non aggressive fishes.
And i have 4 x 2 indoor aquarium
I am planning for aquaponics setup for my small farm.

So the idea is inflow of fresh water and outflow to farm. so no need of oxygen

I go for partition, because i am planning for oscar, frontosa ,etc breeding ..

breeding depends on the success rate in my area,

NUMA has a very large concrete mega tank. You could message him and ask him what he recommends.
