Hi there - first time poster here. I'm getting close to finishing a summer project and am looking for another sturdy way to hold my water besides ecoblox/aqaublocks. Picture attached.
For my basin I had to jackhammer a lot of rock, some of it indestructible with the equipment I rented, and ended up with a decent size basin (holds 140 gallons), but it's rounded at the bottom and has bowled sides. It was the best I could do. The problem I'm having is pump vaults and ecoblox/aqaublocks are all designed to sit on flat surfaces with straight sides. I'm going to lose a lot of empty void space if I try to use aqua blocks with supports, etc. Has anyone cooked up a remedy for this? Something that is just as sturdy as aqua blocks? I've thought about a metal frame cage like layer that could lay across the top with rocks on top. I don't know. Any ideas are welcome. Many thanks.
