indoor shark pond

David · 01-09-2003, 07:17 PM

Hello all, I'm in the planning stages of building an indoor shark pool and would appreciate your thoughts. This will be roughly 8-10 feet by 3-4 feet by 24"deep. At this point I'm leaning towards plywood and fiberglass as I can do it and it's affordable. The chief drawback is it's going to weigh a ton and would be difficult /impossible to move if I had to. The fast and easy way is to construct a "bolt together" frame and use a pond liner but I hate the way that looks and it's tough to keep clean with all the folds and creases in the liner. Any ideas?

Nothing wrong with brick/cinder block, and epoxy paint. I saw a pool made somewhat like that in Old Orchard aquarium in teh Chicago area....was pretty cool, and very clean looking.

Impossible to move without breaking it down....but depends on the situation.

David,

Project sounds very cool. I am from the Chicago Area and am familiar with the sharkpond Perry speaks of. It is a neat looking pond (very clean)and would look excellent in someone's house. I get out that way once in a while and next time I am there I will ask if I can take a picture and I will send it to ya to help give ya some ideas.

Good Luck,
Paul
