i just put the finishing touches on a custom, wall-mounted DIY tank. i basically had a built in book-shelf in my home which now houses a flush-mounted tank that i built. behind the wall is a closet where i house the electrical, air pump and a fluval 205 canister filter. from the front, all you see is the tank and the light; holes are drilled for plumbing the inlet/outlet and air. all walls within the shelf are painted black for a clean look.

these are my 4 fancies that have endured a few months in a 10 gallon. they are healthy and really love their new home. i actually bought them at the local wallmart and have grown substantially!

here is a link to the video:

what do you think? i might try re-filming with better lighting....

wow nice and simple ...nice tank !!

Looks great. How many gallons is it?

it looks larger, but its acutally not that deep (10.5"). it comes to about 26 gallons.....so it still overstocked

aww that's really nice - I love your white baby with the red head, what's it called?

the red cap oranda is simply called "cap"

the lionhead is "jaune" (means "yellow" in french)

the fantail is "duke" because his orange looks like the orange of the dukes of hazzard car

the moor is "TM".......i dont know why. the wife named them!!! lol

lol I like the reason for Dukes name!!!

I have to say that Cap is my fave though

It looks very nice!!! Great job! Your fish are so pretty!!!

thanks everyone!

I like the effect of the lighting in the dark room. very nice.

Wow fantastic! You did an awesome job and your fish are beautiful!

Wow what a cool tank!!!

Are you going to get a other tank?

That is a neat tank, Dmartins! Do you have any pictures of the setup, and how you managed to hide it all in the closet?

I guess you like a lot of WC's. I hope they're easy to do.

Just kidding hon. Nice job! When's the next tank coming?

i dont mind the water changes....lol

here is another vid with better lighting (although, its still a little dark.....cheap camera):
