Jan’s living room tank

Today we introduce you to a beautiful tank by our reader Jan – Have fun with it!

The tank has been completely designed by me personally and also partially made. The glass works have been  made by a professional aquarium manufacturer and the cabinet by a master locksmith. All wood and electrical work has been carried out and implemented by myself. From planning to first water in it, it took about 3 months. The start and the move from my old 212l Cube ran without any problems and now I am enjoying it every day that I have fulfilled my dream of my living room reef.
