om...
Has anyone put a pond IN the floor ?? I would like to put a indoor
pond IN the floor of my frontroom.... I would like to know what or
how to handle floor beams? I would also like to know what I have to
look forward to.... THANKS ever so much for your time!!!!

Cutting the floor beams haphazardly is a good way to ruin the structural
integrity of the house. Additional water is fairly heavy, a 1000 gallon
indoor pond put a load of about 8300 pounds on the flooring, unless you
intend to rest the bottom of the pond on the ground.

Additionally you need to consider how will run filter and plumbing (and
somehow hide, but still have easy accessible) Also consider that you'll
keep a section of your house that will have a higher humidity, and somehow
protect the flooring, walls, and structure from increased exposure to
moisture.

If you're able to make it all work, I'm sure it will be nice.
