Help finish 10K gal rescue fish tank

Hi, I am Viktor, owner-operator of a small DIY start-up, Fish Story Public Aquarium and Fish Rescue in Naples, FL and I am fundraising for the cost of a window for our 10K gal / 40K liter fish tank. The tank will house our resident fish, mostly rescued fish, currently in a 4500 gal tank and in need of a larger home.

We have been keeping and rescuing large fish for 13 years and now turning our hobby into a profession. Our progress, 10-year construction, rescues, etc. are all well documented on our website www.fish-story.com, on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCeGmoYYJt8egvpvCgAbbJg/videos as well as on the peer forums Monster Fish Keepers and Planet Catfish.

The homemade tank in question is a wooden box 18ft x 16ft x 5.5ft lined with 3/8 inch acrylic panels and only lacks the front window, which needs to be a cast acrylic panel 12ft x 5.5ft x 2inches. The rest of the tank is finished. Details can be found in the video.

Our extensive homework with 12 Chinese manufacturers of large acrylic panels on Alibaba allows estimating the cost at $7000 (barring surprises) if imported from China, while domestic estimates from 3 companies center around $14,000 for one such acrylic panel.

It'd be highly desirable to finish this tank this year.

Your help would be enormously appreciated and help us improve the lives of our fish and improve our service to the community as a Rescue and as an Educational Public Aquarium.

With deep gratitude,

Viktor
