I finally have a room for my plants and fish I was planning on making a semicircle pond/tank at the base of the wall made out of the same stone the wall was built out of. Ill use pond liner maybe?
But i also have (3) 4x8’ sheets of acrylic my brother saved from a demolition job over a decade ago. They were part of a see through floor in a mall store. Maybe it is a waste to use it this way but i was thinking about using one as the base and the other's to form 2’ sides. Probably only 2 sides of the tank will be viewable most of the time.
I have a crawl space under the room with enough space to crawl in and add some supports for the weight. I will have approximately 3’ of space and 10’ of distance to reach the ceiling of the basement adjacent to the crawl space (where the filters will be).
 
Sounds awesome how thick is the acrylic . i have a bunch of pieces at work im going to make a sweet outdoor Koi pond with hopefully next summer . I think mine came from a store front on the bad side of town 😂🤣 no bullet holes either !
