I must start by saying that this may take me some time, like months, even though it is possible to do in a few days, that is not how I work, I tend to draw things out a bit.

Anyway what you are looking at in these photo's is the base = 11'3" X 8'3"

The pond interior will be 7' x 10' x 2' deep. In habitants will of course be Stingrays (the only fish truly worthy of an indoor pond!). The walls are going to be built with 2x8's to allow for a whole lot of insulation in my cold basement.

The wood is blue because it all reclaimed wood from my now dismantled fish store. What better use could there be?

MVP of this build is my framing nail gun - no hose, runs on a fuel cell.
 
Niiice. keep us updated with more pics as you go along! I need all the idea's I can get for when I start my plywood tank for my rays. Good luck!
 
looks like your elevating the base with the 2x8's for insulating underneath? very good idea i think..i found a bargain on a firestone thick pond liner on ebay. worked quite well..g/l and keep us posted!
