Wall mounted tank
Has anyone built one of these slim wall mounted tanks?? I would like to put one over my bed. I want it about 60" long. I looked on some auction sights and can't find what I want so I thought maybe someone has built one. Let me know

Yes, but (hopefully) the roof was engineered to hold it's own weight.
The wall, on the other hand, was designed to hold itself up (and maybe help support that roof ) but was certainly not meant to carry such a heavy load to the side. I think it could be done, but it would have to be a well thought out plan. Or maybe he'll have a new style waterbed?

sure, just have a fish room behind the tank. Why you would do this?? Guess if you spend a LOT of time in the bedroom...?
