Yea I just got back into keeping tanks, 1 turned into 5 in a few months, but that would be awsome having them all hung on the wall! you better post a pic!
Voila!
Plants from Anthony and Stuart, fish from April, shrimps from patrick.
Added another 8W T5 from Home Depot to a total of 16W. Hope that is enough light for the plants - water is only 8" deep.
BTW. Over 10 years in salt water. Just got back into fresh with a 30 gallon old planted tank given to me from a friend just before Christian. This wall aquarium is my fresh water #6 - replaced the rimless I bought from Stuart which will soon become fresh water #8 My wife been saying a new tank every two week counting the two betta tanks I just shut down.

You can order from Aussie Aquarium, I think that little guy is over $400 new.
Thinking about custom building a larger one already - 36"L x16"H x4"D ? The frame and support does not look hard to do - in fact they use high density particle board :! There could be from the 100s of laminate available whether aluminum or formica. Daniel coudl probably make a pink one as well
Acutally thinking of using glass mirror for the back. Not too many SF of glass. I am estimating the glass cost should be well under $100. Good fall project.
If you really want a super clean look you could drill a hole in the wall behind the aquarium and run all the wires through to an electrical outlet the other side.
I saw some at Sam's Surplus in Burnaby, in the industrial park off of Marine Drive. They had a few sizes, including some large ones, but they wanted some coin for them...
