Here's a shot of my 45 gallon in-wall tank with mostly tetras and danios in it.
I'm really enjoying looking at everyone's pics!

A very nice tank!! Pardon my stupidity, it's IN the wall? :huh: How it'll support the tank? And how u put it in? -_-
 
Feline,
No stupidity ;) Yes, it is built into the wall. It is framed out inside the wall and is braced by a 2X4 stud frame. Then sheetrock goes right up to it and it is framed out with moulding. There is access to it and the filter equipment through two cabinets behind it in another room (behind a bathroom door). We thought it would be cool to have an in-wall tank, but didn't have a lot of wall space to do it, so we ended up with the 45 gallon one and I'm pretty happy with the result! Thanks for the nice words. :)
 
Looks awesome nikki!!! I love when people are so into something that they go all the way like that!!!! I'm gonna nominate you for TOTM!
 
Awww shucks! Thanks guys :rolleyes: I'll post a couple more pics to get a better perspective of the wall thing. It is actually in my breakfast nook. Most people don't notice it is a tank (they mistake it for an art picture) until they are sitting and eating and see fish swimming!

I took a peek and boy do YOU guys have some good looking tanks!!
How long have each of the tanks been set up?

Freshmike, I thought I read that one of yours was new??
 
Here's another shot of it. A further back view is forthcoming.

Ok....now that is what I call art!!!!

Now can you imagine having a 6 footer for a picture?
That would be crazy!

Gorgeous tank! So beautiful and peaceful, not to mention the clever setup! Definitely for TOTM!
