From my window seat you can normally see three aquariums going, but it's all messed up right now.

That is my new acrylic 75 in the foreground with the warning sticker, and then a 30 tall, a thirty standard facing backwards, and a 55 on the far wall.

But when I get this done you will see the 75 there, the 30 tall stays, 30 standard to be sold, and my new 125 will be just visible on the fireplace. But not quite from this angle.
This is the other place but there are no fish yet. The front garden is perfect for early mornings. I just wish it had a pond or an outdoor Aquarium of some sort.

This is mostly my wife's work, diligently watered by me for 17 years with fish poop water.

Can't.. don't think we have the expertise for that

What I am considering is either a bigger basic fibreglass tank with 1 viewing window which is cheaper but uglier or a raised pond with viewing window on 2 sides which is prettier but more costly

Its not that hard to build a plytank at all. A couple of hours and your done The pondliner is easy to put in the tank. Then cut the liner add a stainless steel frame to silicone the glass against and your done.

The back garden is pretty cool too. Again, my wife is the gardener. I just move rocks and dirt.

If I'm really depressed there's always our pet cemetery. This pic is 10 years old. I am enlarging and remodeling it too.
Too many dead pets . . .30+ years worth.

Joey Mullen built one on Youtube. It's a plywood box about 5'x5'x3', but the framing girdles the box, lapping at the corners like Lincoln Logs, with screws instead of notches. BUT it didn't have a window.

I did contemplate it.... what put me off was the cost of glass which is 2k. Including all other materials , will be 3k

If I get someone to do a pond nicely, its 6k

If I get a 2nd hand fibreglass tank with viewing window, it will be about 1k max including transport
