    Otty has an AWESOME in wall reef aquarium. He did all the work himself, you may want to get some pointers from him if you can. The last thing you want is to go "oh darn, we should have put more support in the wall after the dry wall has gone up.

    I know where you can pick up a 220 gallon reef ready with oak stand and canopy for $800, if you were willing to drive up to Connecticut for it. That tank would look sick built into a wall.

    I'm not even sure how far away that would be. Plus, then I would have to go out and buy new lights, which I just bought and tons of other things that would accomidate that size tank. It WOULD be awesome, I just don't think I have the funds for that right now. Maybe down the road. I would do it, just don't think my other half would. He's been really understanding so far, and I don't want to push it.. lol;)

    Well, it will be a couple of months till we get into it, cause it is going to take that long till he finishes remodeling. But, if I can get some pics of the area were he will be putting it in the wall, I will. I'm sure he won't mind, who doesn't like seeing before and after pics. lol I did read through his thread before we found this house, I wanted a tank in the wall forever now.. So, now that is might be a reality I'm EXCITED!!!:cheesy: I will definitely keep everyone posted and get pics up.
