I met a guy recentley that had turned his shed into a pond ,he lined the wall's with polystyrene and used clear thick plastic to line it .It has given me some idea's that's for sure.Although i think pond liner would be much better than the plastic,he just had koi but my bro's got big boy's that would look fabulous,good luck with your build.

you want to take a fish that is almost 3 1/2 feet and stick it into a 8 x 3 x 5? I hope the 3 is deep... Sorry to rain on your parade pal but a big guy like that is going to need some more space than that... that is a tank that will need daily water changes to keep the params right...
 
What size tank are they in right now?
Do you think your going to put viewing windows in your pond like necro?
 
8'x6'x3' would be good to grow out. can't wait to you brake ground on this project.
