New Tank room
Well thanks to MOJO for giving me the BIG TANK Fever I have sectioned off a part of my house for a new 240 gal Acrylic tank.
The wall you see with the holes is where im going to cut a doorway for side entrance the tank is not going to be in the wall,but it will look like it is built in to the wall when finished,I am building my own stand,so i will be asking for lots of advice guys,wish me luck and will keep you posted.  Casey

yes it is 13 x 5 and Im lucky my wife gave me that much room
all i want is room for a bigger tanks and 240 will fit just perfect with 3 feet in front to stand and look at it. hey it is hard enough when you have 7 people living in your house Casey

So is the tank going to be visable outside that room or will you really have to stand in the closet to play wth the fish. At least tell me you will be able to see from either side.
