Hey Guys

Firstly, does anyone keep looking at their tank and want to keep moving things about to better the design?

Anyway, here is my new Wall Mounted Aquarium, around 25litres, black design.

About
At this time I am 1 week into a seeded fish-in cycle. I want to create a weedy section to the left, then an open space then a rocky section over by the filter. The Air Stone is in the Ocean Rock so that it looks like a volcano.
Images & Videos follow :)

I Have:
-3 pieces of weed
-5 Ocean Rocks
-White Sand
-Plant pot with gravel from cycled tank
-2 Cloud Mountain Minnows
-Modded Air stone (Removed end, closed it with weed weight, made a selection of holes with a pin then inserted it into the ocean rock)

Hope you like it :)

VERY nice! Love your ideas for it.

And yes, the urge to redo your tank multiple times is fairly constant. :p I will get mine where I want it and then want to add something or change something (examples: want to add a lot more sword plants to my 55gal...going to be semi-redoing my 29gal in the near future).

i like it!
it looks like two islands, an older one on the left with plants already growing, and a new one on the right created by the formation of your volcano :D

This is really cool. Can I ask you some technical questions about it though? Did you / what did you use to reinforce the wall? Putting a tank in a wall is a dream of mine, and since I could be moving into a real house in the next year or so I want to start thinking about it now.

I like the rocks too. I like how they're on the left and right with a big open V shape in the middle.

ALSO, I think its cool how they're above your computer. It looks like you have a massive lcd screen above your two regular ones, but it has fish on it lol.

Very brave, above dolby 5.1, Wii, PC etc! I bought a wall muonted aquarium of ebay for like £180, next day delivery and free at that! Great buy! Came with 2 L brackets which we drilled into the wall with the supplied parts.

Added some wood in the centre today, looks great glowing under the light, kinda like a ship wreck.

Thanks for kind comments!

wasent totaly clear but when you move say rocks around it creates nitrates @ air stones can move nitrates around kind of technical... as is new water raises ph... as is adding med's to the water then removing water... guess the bubble stones are under garvel or stones on top of them for effect
