    i have the crazy idea to build a structure made out of concrete that is 5 feet deep 10 feet wide and 13 feet long and has 2-3 pannels of acrylic to see through and this will be placed outside with proper heat and cooling. the idea is to put tropical fish in it and be able to swim or snorkel with your fish. what do you think ? and if this could happen what type of filtration and lighting would you use?
