We're finally settled in the new house, and I'm starting to think about a new tank. We've got an empty bedroom that backs up to my office / game room, and a blank wall that's not load bearing. So in the wall it goes, with the spare bedroom being a fish room.
I'm thinking a 7' long by 3' deep (front to back) by 2' tall tank (~300g) with two corner overflows. Placement would be centered left to right in the wall, at about 42" up from the floor. Rather than cut a window in the wall and frame it that way, I'm thinking of building a doorway 6'8" tall by 7' wide, and mount a panel above the tank on hinges, as well as a panel for the front of the metal stand that's removable. Or maybe a set of doors- haven't quite decided yet.
If you've got an in-wall, how did you trim it out?
Something like this..
