Industrial style coffee table aquarium

My wife told me we didn't have room for an aquarium. I had to be creative to prove her wrong..

Jen Downey Glad you like it :) it's a 300l (+- 80 gallons) tank. I didn't dare to build that myself so I bought one second hand.

lucky! frag tanks are not usually easy to come by used! (i'd love to create a setup like this for my axolotls one day)

Jen Downey well the wife didn't like the idea of an aquarium. She told me we didn't have room for it. The firm aquatlantis makes these aquatables within a very ugly piece of furniture around the tank. I had seen them new in a store but the price is..a bit spicy. Add the commentary "the color doesn't fit in our living room" and you know it will not pass the you-know-what-it-is test. I was looking online for used tanks every now and then dreaming of my own tank and one day this pearl came on by. My wife had shown me pictures of steel framed furniture before so..I arrived home with a rusty welder (had no idea how to weld), steel tubing and a big aquarium. No need to say I got frowned upon by the you-know-who. In the proces of making it, I asked her to pick a color for the framing and the tabletop. Got doubting approval from the boss and that's the story of how I found the perfect tank. I think this tank made me discover the key to happy mariage too somewhere along the line :)
