GrahamC Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've come to inspect the build for the new office where there was a space left for a tank in a corner. The plumbing was done in wall by a plumbing company that has done this before. I didn't have any input. The facing wall is 1.2 m long, and on the right you can see the kitchen benchtop. At the bottom of the wall on the left is a drain that leads up over the floating ceiling to the laundry. I'll need a pump for this. Next to it is a line that run behind the wall to the left hand outlet above. The right hand outlet above is a cold water tap. The tank was supposed to sit flush against the facing wall, and extend past the wall into the room so that you can see right through the tank into the harbour. However, it looks like the plumber has missed putting in the other line for the filter. So, I've got one line that can return the water from a filter but no line to take water out of the tank .. either for a water change, or for filtration There isn't much space either for a deep tank, maybe 50 cm, and then I cut too much into the access to that room. Unless I shorten the tank. I laid floor tiles to 2m, but it looks difficult to walk in that way. So, perhaps max is 1.6 m ( the tiles are 40 cm long ). The lighting was supposed to go into a hood ... and I guess I'll need one to hide the top pipes. Do I need to ask the plumber to come back? Or should I put a return on the left side of the tank, and box it in? Any suggestions on stocking? As this is an office tank where no one might be there for a week or more, I was thinking I might just plant it, and only stock with fish when the office gets some regular use.

zuri08 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 what you could do is a really nice corner tank instead of having it like a normal tank is this for the customers to look at or basically for the offcie?and who will be able to view it the most you or customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Clients will see it at the end of the hallway, but it's really for the office staff and me. I had thought about a corner aquarium, but then decided a long tank is better for fish to swim. Also considered a marine aquarium .. just cross the road and fill buckets with NSW, but I don't have the skills to run such a tank yet.
