mil gracias alex... soy de Bogota, como sabrás hacer esto en Colombia es una utopía... pero seguro que vale la pena!!

Wow, nice start. Don't know too much about masonsy, concrete, and brick, but will that be strong enough to hold the tank in the long run with lateral movement, etc.?

 

[berniegermie]

looking at that tank set up make me feel uneasy....not sure if those bricks will be enough. Hopefully you're alright though.

Nice tank. Like others have said make doubly sure that stand is up to par. No sense in the tank going down after set up. That's a ton of water. It might have been better to do a steel frame stand, then some brickwork around it. By the way love the floorplan in the house ! Ahora echa pa' lante y que te diviertas con tu nuevo Aquario !!
