Orion April 18, 2020 Share April 18, 2020 Thinking of doing a in-wall build this time using the Deep Blue 57 rimless I had before. It would be located next to my bar. Here are a couple of pictures with painters tape on the wall showing what I am thinking. The other picture shows what exists behind the wall. Would need to build a sink back there to make RO water and make it easy for tank maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmatt56 April 18, 2020 Share April 18, 2020 Hey Ryan, Good hearing from you again! I see a MAJOR problem with this plan........ you have a long wall. Go 180 or bigger and go across the LONG face of the wall! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me.. the thought crossed my mind but there is not enough room on that side of the wall due to the HVAC equipment being in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc April 18, 2020 Share April 18, 2020 (edited) If a 180 won’t work, I bet a 150 cube would fit perfectly there Edited April 18, 2020 by flooddc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime April 19, 2020 Share April 19, 2020 I’d skip the DB57 and opt for the DSA 105. Better yet, stop looking at rimless (imo) if you are going to frame it in the wall anyways. A cube actually might be ideal, but no matter what, I would absolutely skip the overflow on the back wall of whatever tank and would run it peninsula style instead.

Would like to go bigger but space behind the wall is limited. I could probably fit a 75 gallon there so the tank would take up more of the wall.

Orion April 22, 2020 Author Share April 22, 2020 Tank and sump have been picked up and currently doing a overnight leak check/vinegar bath on both. After 5 years in storage they were a little dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's so JV ;). Just move or replace the HVAC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tanks (especially already drilled) will have the overflows or overflow box on the longer back wall of the tank. Usually because the tank is up against the wall and that will offer the most viewable real estate! Peninsula is literally that, running the tank as a peninsula so it comes off the wall long ways. When I said peninsula style to Orion, what I was implying was that he should drill the left hand wall of the tank instead of the back wall of the tank, keeping the overflow box out of the way, and offering 3 viewable sides vs two, even if one of them is from the fish room!

DFR August 14, 2020 Share August 14, 2020 @Orion That tank would be sweet if placed in your planned location. It’ll be right at home as it looks like the center of numerous hobbies. I’m anxious to see this system unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
