Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing great this summer or winter depending where your from. I have decided on the dimensions for the big tank that will house Toku and Boba along with several koi fish. The tank will be 240 in. in length, 48 in. in width, and 48 in. high. The total water volume will be around 2,000 gallons with the deepest portion at 4 ft. and the shallowest portion at 1 ft. I bought a koi a few months ago and it has done very well in Toku's tank. So today I bought 5 more. Being that at least 6 koi and one male adult red ear slider and one adult spiny soft shell turtles will be housed in the same tank they will need a lot of space to live comfortable together. I might decide to add more Koi when I do this project. I don't know when I will do this but it won't be for 5-6 years.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna use acrylic as the viewing windows but haven't decided on the tank structure yet. Whatever it is it won't be movable once it is done so I have to make sure I'm settled in and won't need to move.
