150g (uk) Tank Plans

[xxBarneyxx]

Well still planning it. Hopefully will get round to actually doing this very soon but thought it was worth putting it into sketch up to see what it is going to look like.

One thing I'm worried about is that I only have 5 inches between the back of the tank and the wall. Is this going to be enough space for pipework?

Any comments or suggestings would be very appreciated. Tank size is going to be 5X2X2.5 there will be three cupboards, two on either side (for non-fishy stuff) and one underneath for the sump. I haven't put the lights in yet or trim for the top of the tank but imagine some pendants above it and a nice trim on the top (and some doors on the cupboards)

Bah who needs doors? I've been meaning to make some for my tank for 6 months now

It will definetely happen. At the moment there is furniture in the room that needs to be moved and is holding everything up. As soon as thats out the way I'm stripping the whole room down, getting the stand built, decorating, get tank in place and running and then new carpet down (carpet comes last, just in case ).

I've had the money put aside for it for ages and just been waiting for housemates to pul their finger out and sort out the furniture (give them another couple of weeks then I'm just going to take it outside and burn it ). I also took quite a long time over it because the location where it was going to be changed and then I had issues finding a decent tank or tank maker.

Sad thing is its been months that I have been planning this and I still haven't decided on what I want to stock it with
