Thinking of Upgrading

[tapmorf]

You can't see it in the picture, but there is a bump out in the ceiling that prevents the door from swinging a bit past 90 degrees in the open position.
Darn low ceilings

Fine, aren't you worried about getting slammed by a door when you're viewing your tank??

 

[tapmorf]

Not too much, it is not a high traffic area. Besides I won't mind getting nailed by the door if it means upgrade ! ;D

If you do put the tank there I highly recommend raising your header up at least 8" above the tank allowing for a removable piece of molding. It makes the front panel much easier to clean, as well as making aquascaping much easier.

I sure wish I had a wall like that to utilize, looks like it's going to be a fun build!

Yes I was planning to leave at least 12" above to do a flip up piece of molding panel so I could do as you suggests maintenance and scaping.

Pending on how motiviated we are this weekend, we may have a hole in the wall. If that happens I will start a new thread in the Journals section.

Good Luck. I hope all works out.
Make sure you take pics of you putting a hole in the wall.
