Is this build possible?

I'll include a crude drawing but this is the space I have to work with and I'd like to fill it up as much as possible. Tank panels front and back would be 7'x6.5'. Side panels 6.5' x 2'. Bottom and top 7' x 2'. I haven't seen panels available online so I guess it'd be a custom job. Overflows would be external and protrude through the garage wall and drain down into the satellite sump. The returns would plumb directly though the wall with check valves if those are reliable enough and strong enough to make sure tank pressure doesn't overcome return pump pressure. About 650 gals I think.



Is the panel too long and tall to take the pressure? 1" thick acrylic. Would it need a dead center middle brace front to back in the middle of the tank 3.5 feet from the side and 3' up from bottom.

returns are too low on the tank... when the power goes out, even with some awesome check valves,there's the possibility of it all draining out of your sump...



and HOLLY COW, that's a lot of dimensions... LOL... gigantic tank...

I wouldn't know where they'd be best. I feel if they were way at the top, the water column wouldn't move enough. Despite how many circ pumps I had. It'd be fowlr with news and maybe a few softies like hammers and stuff down the road. But loading with triggers and angels and tangs and rays. The list goes on and on.

I'd be surprised to learn if a check valve couldn't hold back that much water pressure though.

Any tank builder sponsors on here want to quote this out?
