SRC Member xnsdvd Posted October 23, 2012 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2012 I think it's fair to say I cheated a little with the rented excavator and the fact that I run a small construction company But yes, it's going to be a marine pond in a freehold property. It's incredibly cheap to build though, considering the volume.. cost under $30,000... a lot less than many of the big 8+ft tanks we see. And since I'm paying as i build, it's almost like I'm doing it in installments If any experienced engineers are cringing at the last picture of the brickwork; Yes, I know it's an ugly job, that's why it's in the DIY section And my men were more interested in getting ready for Hari Raya than working in the hot sun.

SRC Member xnsdvd Posted October 23, 2012 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just my luck, we're heading into the monsoon season as I'm trying to pour the concrete floor... If anyone's wondering, the pond will be about 2.2m deep with 10 Tsurumi 50 TM 2.45(S)s moving 200,000 litres of water through 12.8m3 of crushed coral every hour for filtration. I know it's far too slow for most aquariums, but those 10 pumps will be drawing 4kWh. Which comes up to about $1/hr I just ordered the 7 tons of salt required to bring the salinity to 35ppt. Again, it was quite cheap considering the amount. Less than $5000 for transport and customs clearance. Some of the fish are already here in quarantine. The first batch will be going to the vet for a skin scrape and gill biopsy next week to see if they're parasite free.
