Where is your tank located??

[andrewkw]

I've been meaning to post in this thread for a while. I've been meaning to de-clutter even longer. Having no basement is not just a downside for reefs but regular life. House is a good size for us but limited storage in super open concept. Main tank is in dinning room. This side of the house is really just one big room with kitchen/dinning room / office nook area that could be a small second living room.

Second tank is on the edge of hallway / living room. One side is viewable from the couch. I like when you walk in through the main doors of my house there is a reef to your right and to your left. Of course most people use the side door but you can see both tanks from there too.

Technically it's in the living room, I recently took out the wall that separated the kitchen and living room, and redid all the kitchen cabinetry to match and flow with the aquarium cabinet.

This looks amazing! is it a 300G tank?

Now that is dedication when you redo your kitchen to match your tank. [emoji106] It all looks fantastic.

Wow I’m impressed. Both with what you did and that the Mrs. allowed it.

Thank you. It's a plywood tank 360g display (96w x 34h x 26d) 440 overall with sump in basement.

Thanks. When I built the tank and cabinetry I knew I was going to be removing the wall and knew a kitchen upgrade was something we both wanted and figured I'd try to get it all to flow/match.

Thanks, me too :) though the tank is mostly hers unless something needs to be done to it lol.

I'll try this again from further back so as to show the tank in the whole room. It looks pretty small in the scope of the whole space but it's much more of a focal point than this photo really shows.

:eek: That's one heck of an awesome view ... even without the tank. Wow!!

Straddles a staircase and the fuge and frag tank are in a closet on the other side of the wall.

Interesting location 2CC's.

@2CC's can you post some more pictures showing the supports for the tank? That is one of the most original and unusual tank setups I've ever seen!

Must not be in earthquake country. Yikes :D

 

[reefwiser]

That is crazy would not want to have to clean on that end of the tank.

7 Months old, still lots to do!

 

[PanchoG]

Nice tank and it goes excellent in that room.

 

[Japtastic]

I wanted it all the way across the 11ft but that was given the thumbs down by the boss. Building it into the bookshelves made the Mrs happy(ish) So that's the way it went! I got nearly 7ft and she got bookshelves. :D

View attachment 894960 Sure. The base is two 2" x 3" x 0.25" angle with 1" plywood on top of that. The angle goes right through the slightly re-enforced wall into the closet where is is supported and fixed in place with a little more metal. Its sturdy. The floor below had a load bearing structure beam on the one side and a stud wall on the other side so that was also covered. An yes a lot of persons are skeptical when they first see it (or go down the stairs o_O)
