I am moving my outdoor koi pond fish (3500 gal) into a custom indoor pond in my basement total size (144' x 72' x 42'deep) total water volume a little over 1800 gal. My outdoor pond is over ran with gold fish and my 10 koi (8" to 16" in size) need a private protected pond since blue herons have wiped me out in past years.
My indoor pond will have one large front pane of glass or acrylic and I need to know the thickness of each needed. It seems I would need a 3 to 4 times the glass thickness verse acrylic, but also know acrylic cost a lot more..
Can anyone direct me to a site or knows what thickness I would need for the above described indoor pond (aquarium) that will have a single pane front and sealed concrete floor, and 3 walls, (walls are cinderblock in ground basement and will have a steel bar strengthened 4 inch concrete walls added to all walls and floor. floor in already 6 inch thick concrete.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.. this is going in my mancave!!!
