Hello Everyone,
Before I start, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Battie Bill Watter, people know me as Ben. I live in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi City (It is the Capital of the UAE). I'm 23 year-old and I work in Commercial Logistic as an Inventory Control Officer (ICO). In addition to that I also study as a part time student in Engineering Management . I live with my Parents for the time being but only until my house is built. My mother is useless, doesn't do anything at all and My father works in the army soon to retire! My dad has huge fresh water fish tanks, 5 of which are at least 570,611.6 USG each or so, it looks like one huge tank with dividers for different ages of fish but me I have two fish tanks, one as 10 gallon (saltwater) and the other one is 1320 gallon (Saltwater as well, however, not utilized for whatever reason, anything I put in this large tank dies the next day) so I have made up my mind since I have a vast area in front of the house I'm building. I have decided to invest some money in a huge outdoor saltwater fish tank, a huge lake for my bigmouth sea bass to fish from (I have a holding tank around 550,000 Gallon (it is used to irrigate trees and plants), I keep my Bigmouth Bass in it for the time being until the lake is done) and finally my Koi fish pond to admire the color of the fish and meditate around.
I got so many plans and ideas (Fish Tank, Lake, Pond, Aviary Cage etc) to start with I'm investing so much money in different stuff made me realize that I haven't progress anything and not gone anywhere and in fact it made me feel I have done nothing but wasting money.
So far I have done the following:
Freshwater Lake and Koi-Fish Pond:
I've Dug almost 6m down in a slope-wise, the width of the lake is around 30m and the length is precisely 50m. It will hold around 1,981,290 USG. There is an island in the middle of the lake, around 10m to 7m. The Koi-fish pond is 80m away from the lake and there will be a water stream running from the pond to the lake (Kinda like a river) The river is around 3m wide but there are twist and turns and some parts of the channel is narrowed up to 1.8m and other parts go up to 5m wide. The pond would be feeding the lake with water (The pond will be connected to the holding tank) the Holding tank gets water from Underground water every three days.
The size of the pond is unknown, Holding "œUnknown" Gallon
The Outdoor Saltwater fish tank:
It is located 25m away from the Lake and I want to know how many meters away from the house I'm building. I've only dug a meter below for the foundation of the tank, it will be elevated and the height of it would go up to 4m. The depth of the tank is around 10m and the length is almost 30m. it will hold around 593,095.5 USG of Saltwater, there will be huge live rocks along the center of the tank to reprieve water stress towards the glass.
The Glass Type is Unknown
The Size of the Glass is also Unknown
The thickness of the glass is unknown as well
Here where I need some help from the experts!!
I have some pictures that are available on my Facebook profile , however I will upload some here as well to help you follow up with what I have done so far (by the end of this day)
Pictures of the Lake and tank, progress so far, some blue prints , designs and so!
PS: Both projects are pending, help me decide which one should I go for and complete first! I'm leaning more towards the lake, since my bigmouth fish are suffering ithe holding tank and in addition I need to clear and clean it after the house is completely done which is around next month hopefully.
