Hey Curtis, that will be real nice for the spotted enclosure.I have a preformed pond (about 225gal.) my brother just gave me. I have an extra room downstairs (wife don't know yet) but I,m gonna frame off around the pond ,with land area all around, plants,and a 4ft 2-bulb lite fixure hang,n over it.I just need to figure out how to make a real nice looking waterfall to cover up my home made filter,which I have to finish plumbing.The framing part is easy for me (I build houses for a living)and my bros a plumber, it's just stumping me on the waterfall.What are you gonna do for a filter on your new tank?I was also thinking how long outside with a metal tub tilrust kicks in.Even galvinized will rust with time.Maybe dig the hole a little bigger than needed and run stone around the perimiter to have sort of a run of for water.Can't wait to see it all set up.
