In Wall Tank Pictures/Ideas!?!

[Dustin1300]

I'm currently in the process of building out a system that will likely push 1000 gallons after it's all said and done. I'll be building the DT (96"X48"X30") into the wall and I'm looking for ideas and especially pictures that show tanks in the wall before I start knocking down walls in my basement and move the tank downstairs.

Just so I contribute and you see what I'm working with, here's a picture of the tank and my build thread!

Please share pictures and quick and dirty on the tank dimensions. Thanks in advance!

you would have to build the walls around the tank though. 3-sided viewable like this with your size tank would like fantastic.

Unfortunately, I'll be limited to one side viewable in which the way I have it currently planned. I'm still throwing around the idea of whether it will be accessible from the front or not. Since the euro bracing goes so deep I'm not so sure I'd benefit from having it open on the front side. If that ends up being the case, i might put stone of some sort around the opening....All depends on what comes of the different ideas I see

You will most definately want to access your system from the front esp. with those dimensions....

I've still got plenty of time to plan but with stone I'd not have this option. I like the looks of mx36's setup and it's clean in which the way it opens.

I am planning an in-wall build in the near future. I will be following this thread.

I've been saving this photo for a couple of years because I have an arch like this in the home in Arizona we'll retire to in a few years:

Buddie this is real similar to what we are going to do on our 450. My overflows are on both ends and the tank will be viewable from 2 rooms. I like the simplicity of the framing and doors. Thanks for a great idea!

 

[Nautilus84]

thanks, what would you like to know

I'd like know the dimension of the tank, the lamp, moviment, etc....
I'd like very much this tank.....
Thank's :spin2:

 

[Dustin1300]

Buddie, love the setup and the small piece of granite along the tank is a great addition. I even considered doing this and making it a small bar with bar stools at it. I might eat there for hours Do you have any problems with light bleeding through the cracks on the doors?

EllieSuz, I love that setup. Mines going to be one side viewable so I won't have that option. I'm 26 so maybe my dream home later down the road can be built around an open aquarium like that on the first level

Keep them coming everyone. Very clean setups on each one of them so far.
