My 300g and 120g in wall build

[Reeftoker]

Well it is time to begin the install of my 300 gallon and my 120 gallon tank in the wall. Since both tanks are 24" tall I am going to put the tanks side by side so there will be 12ft total aquarium viewing area. This is going to be along process since we are still moving into the new house and with my job keeping me gone alot.Today my father and I built and installed the header and cut out the veiwing area.
Here are pics from today.

This is the wall before anything done to it.

Reeftoker,

I too am in Locust Grove. Good to see another reefer in the Grove. I have been here for a couple of years. Might have to get together and trade some frags. You may know some other reefers in the area that are interested in trading frags as well. I have a 225 mixed SPS, LPS, and a few softies. PM me if you are interested.
