I like the idea of the DIY filter and pond (I agree with the comment to try and recycle some of the deck lumber). I also like the comment about a huge tank. There are many KZbinrs that could give you pointers on that (Matt from Matt’s Monster Fish, the folks at OFR, and Joey from King if DIY…to name a few). I love all your native fish setups. You show a different side of the hobby and that’s why I watch.

Wood pond with windows (Plexiglass or Lexan). Save on wood by salvaging it from your deck you are removing if it hasn't all been hauled away yet. I did that once on a project years back with wood salvaged from a huge deck. Some sanding and a little stain and it looked quite good. Looks like you'd have plenty material available in that.

You do have some huge unusual tanks in the garage that are pretty dang big and hold a lot of water that you could put in the basement and that beast of a filter would push water around in it and keep it clean as well, I believe. Just my two cents as to what to do to replace that leaky pool and still have places for big fish.
