In closet/wall shallow tank build

[diy]

Hello all,
This is my progress so far on my in wall shallow tank build. My room is small so, this happens to be in closet too

I will also be putting in a hinged shelf above the tank for access.
heres some pics of the loft bed I'm almost finished with.

Thanks

your shoes and clothes are gonna smell...

to stop the smell you could line the back/side with 1/4" cedar panels. it should get ride of the tank smell( i think) looks like your gonna have a nice little set up there.
another way to get rid of the smell is to run a carbon filter. some ppl will run them 2 or 3 days a month, but i personally like to run them 24/7. i get some nasty smelling water if i dont

thats what I was afraid of so, Im instaling a vent that leads outside. Also all the shelves are boxed off and sealed. the front is the only side that is not covered

I've never seen such a small inwall tank before. I wish you the best and am eager to see how it turns out. What do you want to do with the tank? SPS!?!?!?

Contact me if you want to sell some of your shoes

Are you planning to use those slides to allow the tank to slide out from the opening?
Are you sure they are rated for the weight you are going to be dealing with?
