Thoughts on my plan.....

ok so, when i get some seriuos cash together....

start now
it never hurts and you can get somethings that wont change

I am considering knocking out the wall between my kitchen & lounge.

woohoo always fun

my dad is a builder so shouldnt be a problem... but am wondering if anyone
thinks it would be doable to have say a 3foot highwall where the wall was,
then on that build say a 7ft wide tank INTO the wall (there would then be a
gap between the top of the tank & the cieling.

make sure you can get to some part of the tank for maintenance

reason for this would be i would be able to watch the fish in both the
lounge & kitchen.

of course

however am wondering, if i had a purpose built tank, say 7ft long x 2 feet
wide x say 3 feet high, we would be talking some serious mass of water.

314usg yea sounds good

also how much would it cost to run the heater / filters etc for such a tank
per month.

you didnt say what you were putting into this tank is it a FO or a FOWLR or reef, the
difference will be howmuch you save on filters but spend on lighting or the other way
around

am guessing I would be looking at around £4000 / $6000 for summat like this
initially.

that also depends on FO/FOWLR/reef though it sounds a little high its not out of bounds
for any of the 3, premium equipment costs $$$ though you can easily get by with while
still good but not premium

do you guys think this is all realistic, or am a way out on the price, or is
the size / weight not feasable.

go for it
