Petco has a sweet deal out here now that is 20% off livestock if you buy a bucket, so now this tank is stocked! Working on the living wall build behind it.

My favorite is the tray under the canister!
I might have used a union valve at the bulkhead...might...
I look forward to seeing the living wall

The 120 is the same tank from the pool table room that I brought out here. I just got the living wall metal and plastic sheet up, and need to spec the plumbing to water the plants, and maybe make a waterfall one day.

The 168 became a 300, which matches the house size growth from the bay to here.

Also a 20 fresh, a 35 aio salt, and a 45 cube salt in the same room. She said I could do whatever I wanted with aquariums in my office, and she didn't realize how creative I was with space.

My parents came into town, which means my Dad is motivated to help with projects, so I finally got the living wall built.

Got an indoor irrigation system which can be programmed to pump water multiple times a day. Stapled the tube up into the pvc sheet which is backed by a stainless steel piece I had made to my spec.

Then stapled two layers of black felt up, and cut into the outer layer to stick the plants. What results is a really cool jungle feel on top of my freshwater tank.
