    So I just picked up a 2nd tank last night and was thinking of putting in an in wall arch way I have when you first walk in the front door. On the opposite side of the wall is my fairly large walk in closet. What are some things I should be concerned about placing the tank there?

    really not to many draw backs as far as I can think of. since its going to be in wall, I would line the around the tank with shower liner for accidental spills. water in walls = no no. like stated above ventilation would be another one but I'm sure going in and out of the closest daily would be enough for it to air put. I think the main concern with that would be the humidity on warmer days. other then those 2 things I think having your own personal room and pretty much free reign of where to put the equpiment without the S.O. complaining sounds amazing!
