    In that configuration you'd only be able to see the side of the tank without walking in the room. Imo it should be viewable from the front. Could you place the whole thing on something so you could move the tank by rolling it around should you need to access the back?

    rolling around a 600G tank plus sump system, YIKES, thats gonna be like 7000 pounds when done or more;)

    I like it, I'd just add some ledges on both sides to hold beers, and some bar stools and get er did;)

    built in floor rollers?! Lol I'm too technical but it would be cool to be able to 360 the tank.

    like the concept, but dang you'd be adding ALOT of weight to small areas, hope this is on a concrete slab of decent depth;)

    With the size and magnitude of the tank, placing it on rollers would be impossible. I tried it the way you mentions against the large window and it took up to much of the entrance of the room. If I am understanding you correctly.

    Shhhhh!!! You are letting the cat out the bag.

    Great idea but way past the budget.

    The tank is on a concrete slab. But considering the sinkhole problems we have been having here, its out of the question.
