I am constructing a new home and planning on incorporating a 4000 gallon salt water aquarium into the house foundation. It will be below ground level and consist of one acrylic viewing panel with the remainder of the tank concrete.
i originally wanted to build a cold water tank and circulate the ocean water near by through the tank. This i thought would allow me to have native species in the tank however apparently it is frowned upon to return the water to the ocean.
i am looking for help, ideas, does and don't for this construction. i have had 160 gallon tanks but this one is beyond me. If anyone out there can recommend the equipment i may need for such a project please let me know. I want the most practical best performing equipment for this salt water aquarium that i can buy. I appreciate all the sound advice i can get.
Thanks
