Thread: A big aquarium in your wall?

Here's an idea of mine for a living room design.

Say you had a really large living room in a whitewashed yet classic design with a wall that is slightly curved; how would a big aquarium look like?

The idea is to have it built into the wall so the visible side is only water (the other stuff is hidden by the rest of the wall and can be accessed through a door on the other side)

I was also thinking of adding a frame to it to make it look like a painting and blendning in with the classical design.

This somewhat resembles what I had in mind

Though I'd have a bigger and more slender version in a much larger room.
And I wouldn't have a room visible behind it.

What do y'all think?

be prepared to drop thousands.

something pretty similar I have in my house

from kitchen looking towards living room.
