Hang-on-the-Wall reef aquarium

As you can see from the top pic, this acrylic tank was all scratched. I started to remove the inside scratches with a strong algae magnet and micro-mesh. It couldn't take the pressure and started leaking. It was a pretty old acrylic tank.  

My dentist did not want a regular tank on a stand with a sump and he didn't want a sump hanging on the opposite side of the wall(the restroom).  

Yea! I found a new glass picture frame tank, gathering dust in the backroom of Fish-4-U. Thanks Kris 

Here it is fresh out of the box:

I ripped off the cheap steel picture frame and cut pieces of it to fashion a reinforcing bottom pan and brackets for top and sides. Generous amounts of aquarium silicone were slathered on to secure/support the bottom edges of the tank in the pan and to keep the braces from rusting.

Here it is with sand, ready to be placed on the shelf on the wall.

Hmmm, I guess I forgot to take a good picture of the shelf on the wall. Here is a fuzzy view looking up at the bottom of the shelf.

Option 1

The Mean Well GS90 A12-P1M posted above (in the other thread) is still a black plastic case 6"x2.5"x1.5, but it has a 2 year warranty, unlike the close to zero warranty of the $6 Kastar unit. It has the advantage of being similarly compact and fully insulated as power supplies used previously. The downside is bulky wires that require bundling to fit the whole thing in the space between the tank and the picture frame.
