The parameters I have to meet is that no wire or plumbing can be seen hanging off the back or otherwise. The water level at top of tank cannot be seen and the side of the gravel or sand bed cannot be seen. This was set down by the other half. I had to get an OK for the wires and cables to the wall plates. This included 5 tubes from a wall plate to the tank. I am glad I got a signoff on that otherwise this would not be possible. So this design is to keep as much as possible hidden from view. Now ...
Hello Guys!! I am hoping y'all will be able to help me with some preliminary planning for an aquarium and fish room I am trying to plan. We are building a Preschool/Children's Wing at the church I work at. We currently have a 100 gallon aquarium that I have been maintaining for the last four years. I have been told they want a BIG one in the new building. We have had our first meeting with the architects. We don't have any drawings yet but I will need to let them know what type ...
Yesterday I visited a famous Brazilian veteran aquarist, Mr Joao Basso, he's been in the hobby for some 40 years now (much like Paul B), and in his recent years has experimented a lot with new tank formats and other DIY projects.

I decided to upgrade my nano to one step up. I had a few requirements: 1. Not too big. 42 x 24 X 20 2. Had to blend into existing house and furniture. Where possible use existing items vs buy new and have it accepted by wife 3. Have the system set up to be as low maintenance and automated as possible! Wife will not deal with tank related issues when I'm out of town on business! So this is my story of the tank build up in San Francisco, Bay Area! ...
