Well I am finally going to take the plunge, I have held onto a beautiful tank I purchased from our dear friend Jose Dieck that left the hobby for a while as he had to move and took a new job. I had recently bought a fairly new large house in Naperville Il, and moved my 90 gallon tank with me, There it was banished to the basement and slowly most of corals died, Mushrooms thrived and fish did just fine. It was hard for me to get down there to work on it and really wanted my Tank upstairs and plumbed into basement ( A fish Room ) my dream come true where I could have all sorts of fun equipment and not feel cramped. Well I heard a gentleman selling a large setup that use to be the tank of the month. I went over there and bought it. There it has sat in my garage for last year while I tried to muster up courage and money to put this baby in a wall. Without further adooo. Here we go
:lolspin:
 
This was my old tank in chicago

Oh boy! I guess you forgot to mention you were removing the wall!

Jose Dieck was such a wonderful mentor to us when we were setting up our calcium reactor...I wish him the best with his new job. I'm sure it won't be long before he builds another beautiful aquarium.
 
Yes Jose tank was amazing, I am so bummed I cant use his beautiful oak stand he had built for tank as it would of really just been plug in and wala, But my wall could not accomodate it so I will have to sell the stand
 
The tank will be built into wall and so stand will be hidden. Gonna take some work but should be doable, Problem is there is no real lumber yards around as they have all gone out of buisness and home depot and lowes do not carry mahogany plywood. Still working on that issue but that will be dead last to worry about. Just ordered 3 gen2 radion units :)
