Looking for Pics of "Built in the Wall" Tanks

MartyD · 03-22-2002, 11:07 PM

If you have pics of your "built in" tank, I would greatly appreciate pics of the front and back.

Thanks!

Check out reef centrals tank of the month, its build into a wall...

I'm in the process of building an AGA 120 into the wall. I have been working on the closet restructure for the past 2 weeks.
I am consolidating my complete system into the closet which is going to be a bit of a chore.
I can't get very good pics of the back but I will give it a try .
I will probably install the tank in place this comming week if I can find the help ( 2nd floor condo ).

This is the back. My chiller is going to be in the box above the tank. It's the only place I could figure to put it.It will draw air out of the closet and exhaust it into the attic.

I got the closet restructure done today . All I have to do is tile the floor .
I painted the back and sides of the tank blue .I will post more pics as soon as I place the tank .

FISHme · 03-24-2002, 09:40 PM

I think I am going to tile the front wall with white tile, I think the tank will look cool built into a tile wall. Originally I was going to do a picture frame around it but am leaning twords the tile.

FISHme · 03-26-2002, 10:24 PM

I slipped the tank in place today for anyone that really cares

Is this place dying or what ????

FISHme · 03-26-2002, 10:29 PM

The chiller in place .

FISHme,
Looks great! I'm envious. I feel ya on the dying part though. The board just doesn't have the activity it use too.

If you can take the time to post all the good picks, I can spend a little time letting you know that they look great.

Good job.

fishrule · 03-27-2002, 05:35 PM

Fishme, is it a good idea to have a chiller over the tank?

FISHme · 03-27-2002, 08:29 PM

Hey Guys,
Fishrule , I don't know but really had no choice .
I would not do it if I thought it would be a problem . I know it restricts my space for lighting and access to the tank but I feel there is just enough room to do what needs to be done in this restructure project.
I will have a glass panel under the chiller.
I also made a wood frame for the front of the tank tonight that matches my doors and baseboards. I am then going to do white 4 by 4 ceramic wall tile on the rest of the wall.

I just finished a 100g in wall tank. It is open on both sides one in the family room and one in the office. The only thing I have left is the removable formica wall yhat I am putting in the back side.
This is the front with the live rock.

Jim Stavropoulos · 03-28-2002, 01:17 AM

This is the back without the formica wall that will have the access doors.

Jim Stavropoulos · 03-28-2002, 01:18 AM

Stand construction.

This is above the tank with the retractible lighting.
