    Nope, not built into the wall. The tank will be going in my bedroom.
    The stand will be plain jane, built for use and ease of access over fancy looks. But, the neat trick is that I am going to build the fuge into the front of it under the DT, in a way thats also displayed. The fuge itself will eventually house dwarf seahorses.

    Are you at all concerned with noise being generated from such a large tank in your bedroom? I have a tank in the room I sleep in and just the noise of water rushing through the PVC is enough to make me not want to put a tank with a sump in it in my room again. I'm a relatively light sleeper though as well, maybe it's not as much of a concern for others.
