Hello I was out to see Jim's 400g tank today

, I have to say WOW, It is a really nice setup. It has made me decide to put my 220g in my basement rec room now. So for those of you that have put your tanks through your walls, please share with me all the do's and don'ts that you learned. PLEASE

Thank you

Dave

Thanks.

The tank is 34" off the floor, the concrete base is 8" high. I wish now the tank was about 4-6 inches higher.

The plywood is 1/2" and is bolted onto the stand and is extended out to the edge of the wall inside of the office.
