previous
55 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - We moved into a new house and there was an odd wall in the livingroom. I decided that I would build floor to ceiling oak book shelves down that wall so of course a big box of water in the center only made sense. I had no fish tanks so I had to build or buy everything I needed and it was up and running in a month. It is in the wall behind my couch and is now a healthy Tanganyikan community tank.
