That's a snug fit. 🙂

The Alcove measures 102cm from skirting board to skirting board, the tank is 100cm. I forgot about the plug socket to the side of the cabinet but thankfully had enough room there too 🤣

I did panic for a second when I was struggling to get it in the space and the Mrs was due home any minute

Congrats on the new tank! I was going to advise testing that it holds water….however you seem to have put 500kg of rocks in it :woot: (albeit nicely placed).

The tank is water tight, I visited and purchased when the tank was full it originally contained a fair few Mbuna Cichlids which the Lady tried to pass onto me (I passed on this as while I like Cichlid Tanks I have done them in the past) had to then wait for it to be drained and fish re homed before collection.

Not quite 500KG, in actual fact 150KG of Rock/Pea Shingle (I still have half a bag of the 10mm and 20mm as well as half a bag of the Scottish Cobbles (40mm and 80mm) which I plan to use when I rescape the Fluval EVO as well as the Betta that the Mrs wants as well) and about 20KG of Play sand. Garden Centre Bargain at £37.50 and an ear bashing from the Mrs for washing it all out in the shower 🙄

I am just looking into plants at the moment and trying to narrow down my selection, might go for an Indian/Bangladeshi theme with this one.

Happy days then! I actually really like your scape, looks like something you could see out in the real world.
