    Default 120 Gallon Tank as Footboard to Cedar Bed

    My 10 year old son has limited space in his room, so as a way of making it possible to have a large aquarium in that space, I integrated one into the cedar bed we made together. Pics of project coming soon...

    I can't wait! The last thing I need is another tank but that is just to enticing to resist.

    Here is a link to a picture of the finished bed. You can see the footboard is the cabinet and stand for the aquarium. At the point that pic was taken I was waiting for a custom aquarium build with two holes drilled in the bottom on the tank. One hole for overflow and the other for all the hoses, wires and cords.

    The day the 120 gallon custom tank arrived. My son had to try it on for size.

    The tank is getting set up. A 100gpd RO system is plumbed underneath, as is a CO2 system with a 20lb cylinder, an Eheim canister filter, pH controller and temperature controller, and wires for the LED lighting. Plants came from AZ Aquatic Gardens and the drift wood came off the lake from behind the house.

    5 months after setting up my tank I've finally selected and added the discus.
