My In the Wall Tank build...

Bought 200 gallon 7 footer month or so back for $350.00 with stand finally starting to come to gether been so busy didnt have time..
Here is the tank when i first put in my basement (which took 4 of us)



Framing started...



Sheetrock started...



Ramp i made from Glass an silicone steps. ( for Razorback Musks turtles )



Basking area.. (not fisnished yet )



View from side.. cut out will be a glass window to see the above tank basking area when its finished..


Water line built in wall right above tank for easy fill for water changes no hose needed.
Might make 24/7 drip system though


another view of water line..


Drain i made of PVC right into ground drain behind tank... can use sump to drain right into ground or syphon... mush easier this way!



Any thats all i got done so far.. more pics to come to be continued as i build more...

Thanks everyone!... not sure yet havnt really fully decided was thinking a few electric yellows.. maybe couple JD.. i want fish that are colorful and max out between 5" and 10" too big of fish might attack turtles.. too little might get eatin up
