Nice Curtis!Are ya gonna set up a filter or just constant water changes.Maybe instal a bulkhead drain on the side for easy cleaning.Also might wanna think about drilling some holes a little bit above the water level so when it rains it doesnt flood out on ya. Can't wait to see the final product.I bought all the stuff to start my new in-door enclosure a cpl weeks ago.Waiting on my lil bro (a plumber)to relocate my washing machine and drier so I can start to put it together.I'm gonna make a filter with a 300gph pump I'm just not sure of the water return from the filter.It will be gravity returning the water I just don't wanna have it to strong.I was thinking about use'n a PVC pipe with a bunch of holes drilled in it like a spray bar to try to keep the water moving but not a real strong current.I'll take a bunch of pics thru-out the whole building process to share.As of now I have all the lumber, the pump,liner,2-4ft shop lights w/5.0 uvb's,a drain in the floor I cut the concrete floor in my basement and plumbed in the drain, then filled the concrete back in, an endless amount of PVC, all I need is my bro to get motivated.
