My 220g Journal

[syntaxx]

Here's my 220g Tank Journal.

A month ago my unit construction has started. I decided to put an In-wall tank in it. It is my ever dreamed 220g tank. The tank will be in between of our room and the living room. Here are a few shots taken. Sorry for the quality phone cam pic.

Here is the bedroom view where the piping and stand will be put.

Another pic taken after a week of progress.

Front View with Lights.

Without Lights.

Back View. Nothing Changed.

To be continued.

A month ago the bottom glass got busted. And need to replaced the glass. Only 1/4" thick of rubber matting have been used. Now we put 1" styro underneath.

After 4 days. I filled it with water half empty. And check the level.

I am still a bit nervous but it looks like it is now stable.

After 2 more days I filled the tank and wait for another days since the last time the bottom glass broke was the 4th day after filling it full.

Now the tank is already on the 6th day and still running smooth. I already added the fishes.

From the kitchen view.

And from the bedroom.

Sorry for the picture quality. Phone cam only.

Thanks
