Abstract
A wall mountable aquarium includes a tank that has an interior space defined by a front wall, a back wall, a bottom wall and a pair of end walls. The interior space is adapted for containing fish and a habitat to support the fish. A sill plate is adapted to be coupled to a bottom of a frame for the picture window such that the sill plate is adapted to be aligned to the tank with the frame for the picture window. A heater assembly is coupled to the bottom wall of the tank; the heating assembly has an intake conduit and an output conduit adapted for circulating water of the habitat through a heat exchanger for warming the water.
