Nice love in wall tanks. I have one and did a couple for some friends. They look so clean and really add an nice appearance to the room

heres the tank, nothing special. need to clean her up and repaint the back and paint the sides. filtration will consist of a 2" overflow to a 55g sump with socks, pond matrix(lets see if i can fit all 20L in there), 2 hydor theo 400w heaters ran through a ranco controller, and 2 jebao dc6000 return pumps ran to two 1" bulkheads in the tank. lighting will just be a suspended shop light in the garage(where the tank will be)ran off a timer. also i will be running a drip system.
its going to be basically maintenance free, simple, but also look great where it counts. it will house my male dovii and a female whenever i find one.
