Tank built in outside wall

[dirk_brijs]

am planning to built a 406Gl tank into an outside wall.
It would be into a shadow wall and covered by a roof so no exposure to sunshine or any natures way.
Ilive in Thailand so temp would not be a big issue just chilling. I dont have an airco in my house so inside temp is same as inside.
What would be the cons of such a set up if there are any?
not talking about pumps and equipment just about environmental issues I might come across? Dust??? dont see anything against it?

just to give you guys an idea
still not done with the drawings but I guess most of you can figure it out.
At outside view 2 this is actually the place where my car come too and is completely covered with a roof though no walls around it.
Actually right across the tank I have a huge walk in bird cage with 20 love birds in it.
The project is still in the drawing stage but as soon as I start building it I will keep you guys posted with loads of pics.

wow...interesting! I'd love to see pics as it comes along. Any plans to seal the back exposed end so nothing can get in the tank from the outside?

Looks like a good project to watch. The only issue that I can see right now is the possibility of critters finding their way into your sump such as spiders or snakes. I don't think either one would be good for the display if one of those died in there.

spiders or snakes could get into my inside tank easy too.
As mentioned our door is open all time we regularly have all kind of critters visit us.
Idea would be though to make sure that light cover is snug to the main display.
