Poured the floor 2 weeks ago, going to wait another 2 weeks before I start stacking blocks.
I was going to wait until I had it done before posting but I couldn't wait.
 
That's great dimension. Just What I want to build in years to come.maybe a little taller though. after I outgrow my 600 gallon tank. Question are you doing floor drains?
Are you doing one large window or two or three smaller size windows? Windows planned for just the front or a side also?
Why you going with blocks for the walls vs pouring those also?

No floor drains, If I have to drain it I will use a sump pump.

Using two starfire glass windows they will be set in cement. Front side only.

Dry stacking blocks then filling blocks with cement reinforced with rebar.
 
What are your stocking plans for this beast of a tank

I have two motoro rays, was supposed to be a pair but they're both males.

Arowana, Tiger shovel nose cat.

I'm mainly building it for rays.

They have out grown the 75 gal so they are in pool now.
