It was good to meet you all. I took a couple of pics with my phone so the quality is kind of crappy. Tank dimensions are 48" long, 18" high and 5.5 " deep.

that's a pretty neat idea it really opens up possibilities for tank placement. Does it have an overflow and sump too?

5.5" front to back huh? Fascinating! So did you decide that 5.5" was the absolute minimum depth that your tank should be?

The tank doesn't have a sump, I'm running a canister filter underneath it in kitchen cupboard. I made a small overflow for it where I have the pump suction. It needs manual adjustment every few days to ensure the water from the surface is being sucked down. It seems to be working out ok.

If you go to www.walltanks.com you can see what I bought. I was a little off on the dimensions, it is 16" high and 6" wide.
