I know it's not a tank and I apologize for any issues with the post. I'm not very internet savvy and this is my first real reddit post.

But this is my 640 gallon tilapia tub turned into a tropical fish pond. Located in southern Florida I'm able to keep quite a variety. A little background on the pond. It's about 8ft round and holds 640 gallons of water. Iv added a waterfall box and a small bog over flow. I mostly rely on plants and floss for filtration. Iv got two pumps in boxes that circulate the water at about 1200 gallons per hour per filter. When they aren't clogged with poo lol. I plan on adding an over flow and separate sump to keep the filters in and a much larger bog filter. I also would like to add a brick wall around the pond so that it looks more like a fountain or well as opposed to it's giant Rubbermaid like appearance lol. The intent of this project was actually to keep a giant gourami but in the heat of an emergency I needed a new home for my comet who iv had since he was about an inch. Iv kept my fair share of exotic fish over the years and have found myself having an absolute blast keeping fish in once kept as a kid. After about 8 months my pond is overgrown with aquatic plants and now has over 30 species of fish co-existing. I thought I'd share this new discovery of the versatility of keeping fish in a tub and would love any kind of feed back.
