Since Koi are banned in Vic, there is a distinct shortage of jaded koi keepers selling their tanks.... :D

Internal measurements of the tank are... 2225x3450x980...

Allowing for a slight bevel of the sides, and freeboard... let's call it 2225x3450x920...

So 7000L all up... filled...

Hope to run about 300-500 fingerlings over winter..... depending on size...

Have been meaning to get this system built and online since Xmas....

Kind of ironic that I started building a greenhouse shelter today... when it was 40+... :mrgreen:

Just too hot to even handle the tools after putting them down for even a few minutes...

Quite the project, looks like you are trying to reinact some pyrimid building. Really a great looking tank, would love to have one like that.

Well this system never made it into production..... a victim of the recent move....

It's been stripped down... and moved out...
