Well Mike, I'm going to be adding a 280g in wall tank. I think the wall is load bearing - like that means something to me - LOL. I have to wait a few months before doing anything with the wall but just checking around about hiring the experts. I'll also need to build a stand for the 280 - I have some ideas and I don't think it will be that big of a deal but you never know.

 

[pmike25]

If its a load bearing wall than you will have to relocate the load sort of speaking, there can be ALOT involved in that...but anything can be done

Stand for an in wall?? Or do you mean what the tank sits on, on the other side of that wall?

That's what I was concerned about - load bearing, roof falling - didn't sound good to me.

You're so funny - yes what the tank will be sitting on. I'm thinking of kind of the same thing Joey did but I'm going to have book cases on both sides and the bottom will have cabinets. I want the tank to be located above the cabinets. I want the book cases to also be flush with the wall in the living room and the cabinets out about a foot or so with part of the tank on it. Big job but it should be fun!

 

[Don Lino]

sounds interesting...hope u make a thread on it!

 

[pmike25]

Ohh your doing like a "pass through" tank Like you can view it from the front and back?? If not im lost!!!

 

[Don Lino]

yup, sounds like a room divider...hmmm

 

[ReefArtist]

Kind of - I'm making a fish room in the garage that will have all the equipment, plumbing, lighting etc. in the living room will be nothing but a nice book case with a tank in between and cabinets below.

 

[Don Lino]

The garage?? Why would u wanna be able to see your garage from your living room??

 

[pmike25]

I think I know wheres shes going with this......

 

[Don Lino]

I thought I did...I mean my garage is no show room, maybe hers is alot different from mine!

 

[ReefArtist]

You guys are way to funny. Built into the wall. Not a pass through or anything like that. Here is my idea. This is all in the wall and I have to go into another room through a door to get to the back of the tank

This is what I will see from the living room.

 

[pmike25]

hmmm..neat design....that would be cool to do!!

 

[Don Lino]

that would be nice, u will still have access to feed your fish through the front, correct??

 

[ReefArtist]

Oh yes - Don't want to give away to many of my special features right now but . . . like l said I might need to hire out some expert advice - don't want the roof come down on everything .

 

[pmike25]

Yes thats the correct way to go for sure .... I am actually working in the area by you, if I happin to know I am getting off earlier I can come and just take a look see...

 

[ReefArtist]

That would be real cool Mike - I'll PM you.

 

[Don Lino]

Yup, protect your ideas by any means...
