How can you even think about something 5 years off? The anticipation of that would kill me by itself, let alone the fact that you will probably change your plans 1,937 times before then.
ooohhh boy

LOL dude, ive actually got stuff planned thats 5, 10, even 15 years off, like, in 3-4 years, im taking my dad elk hunting, that is his dream hunting trip, and due to his quad bypass, had to give up that dream, cause he had to retire, so my combo birthday/father's day present to him in 3-4 years is going to be a trip out west, prolly colorado, wyoming or montana and let him a trophy elk

Thst's pretty much the reason I rarely plan much at all. I'm terrible at plans and if I want something I buy it, and if I really want to do it I go ahead and go. We never know when our last day around here will be.

oh i know, but, my dad is finally staying healthy, now that my baby sister has had a baby and now that ive got a gf i intend to marry next summer so he's staying healthy, so we're gonna do that trip and we'll prolly get the tank laid when we get our place, and then when we have the money, we'll start setting it up LOL

That's where he has more patience than me. I had the tank (and way to many fish along with many other problems) before I even posted once.

AHAHA... but he's gonna end up psyching himself out and getting discouraged ending up with no tank. What good is this pyramid scheme if he never actually buys a tank?

Not to be a downer, but honestly, I think I'd much rather go with a traditional tank/sea-world-type-aquarium setup. Something raised up, maybe on a stand, with a main front viewing panel, instead of that massive of a lagoon. Keeping with your dimensions, something like 14' long, 6' deep, 4' tall would be about as cool as possible. That way, once it's all finished, how awesome would it be to sit back in a super comfy leather Lay-Z-boy and watch the tank, instead of having to sit on the tank rim, trying to peer into the tank, trying to see the fish/corals through the waves/reflections...

If I were going that big...I would forego any kind of house...this is the only way I would be able to afford it...I would make the tank err lagoon that much bigger and build a circular pod within it so I could see fish all around. So it would be like you living in an aquarium, and the fish would watch you
...that'd be neat

That's a nice size basement
. How would you do concrete work in an existing basement...is it a walkout, or you trying to come in a window? Either way I would think it would be difficult
