Has anyone tryed this & if so did it create any problems.

My new house has 6 foot cantilever, generally used for a hutch in the dining room but I was thinking it would be a great place for a built in tank. Is there anything I should be concenred about.

Weight? seeing as it is outside the house foundation
Temp? the back & both sides & bottom/top would face exterior walls.

Others?

Would like feedback & pictures of success stories

Are you putting the 60 gallon there? Or are you going to place a bigger tank there?

Sorry I should have included tank specs.

I would like to fill the space with a 6 foot 160 gallon tank.

water weighs a ton. find out how much your car weighs then find out how much your tank weighs and see of you want to put a 160 in suspension
