Making My 800 Bigger

My name is Jonathan, otherwise known as TheFishGuy on a few other forums. I run monsterfishrescue.com and seem to be rescuing more and more fish. Recently my 800 that I built two and a half years ago started to leak. The tank has been drained and all the fish are living in a roughly 800 gallon pond. So since we have this saying that there's no problems just opportunities I've decided to take this opportunity to make the tank much larger. As it stands the tank measures 14' long 3' front to back and 30" tall. Since my incredibly understanding wife who lets me fill the house with fish tanks doesn't want the tank to take up more room I've decided to add onto the back of it. I'm going to take it a step further though and make the addition deeper. What I mean by deeper is by making it taller by going down.

Here's the future footprint:



So while the footprint will be larger indeed, it's going to be 26 or so inches deeper in the addition part. Here's a 3D to explain.



Then what it'll look like through the glass:



With the addition the total gallons will go from 785.45 to 1623.27 more than doubling gallonage. More importantly this will give options for more fish to go into the tank by creating two huge breaks in line of site.

Here's a link to the original build, and to the thread that was a continuation:

This is essentially part three :) And yes, I've started this thread on a bunch of forums because I'd like to get to know the people from this forum. :)

Monster Fish Rescue

Hi folks, MFR is in need of a 20’x15’ pond liner. I found one on eBay for $100 or so including shipping. So I thought I’d come on all the sites and see if people are willing to donate to reach the goal of $100. I’m expecting some large fish shortly and need the room! I belong to 26 forums, so if I only got $4 from one person on every forum we’d make the goal! Here’s the link to the pond liner I’d like to get:

Or if someone has pond liner to donate that’d be great! Thanks again to all the MFR supporters! You guys are great!
