my 220g native in-wall build

[scotty]

this is a condensed version of a thread from another forum .

the tank : 220 gallon glass tank (picked it up used for $250) this was only a year old ... i only belived this because the manufacturer built by /inspected by sticker under the trim says made in oct 2008....

the filters : approx 35gallon sump (added a mag 18 pump) with an overflow box made by eshopps. and a cascade 1500

the stand : homemade (built another ) the one that came with the tank was not tall enough for my application ( the stand i built is 42"tall)

stuff i added ...
the background is 1/2" foam painted black and attached with velcro it needed to be removable for cleaning as there is no access from the front

homemade 200watt+ light (cost me about $30 to make it )

well enough talking here are some pics
