Fish Wall

So Ive come across the "Fish Wall" and Im thinking about giving it a try, but was curious if anyone else has ever tried one of these before and if so possible experiences with it, I love the idea of hanging it on my wall and having a possible reef in it with a fish or two... tell me what you think

Here is my wall tank. It was a custom job and I built the canopy and skirt around it. Haven't seen one of the ones you are talking about though. I can hook you up with the guy that built my tank if you are interested.

It was $450 for the tank and the plumbing. You can check out my gallery for more pics. I know it's pricey but it is all stocked up now and looks like a piece of wall art. I love it.

Im going to check into the place you got yours custom made, and still consider this Fish Wall as well, I need to seperate my ap 24 a bit, move my corals over to a diff tank, My anemone has gotten so big that I would like to keep him alone with his clowns in the 24 till I buy him a new larger tank all his own, but with remodeling lately, putting the tank size I want into my house right now just is not going to work, so I need to buy some time for a little less than a year

now that could be really cool idea, run the return and pump lines into the sup of a big tank, and use it as a showroom for smaller pieces that could be come lost in a big tank . .
