Yesterday I went out to Lakeland and did an In wall for a friend of mine. Its a 120 set up and I will also be doing the plumbing and all that good stuff. Here are some shots of the process and tank in wall...

Yes it did come out nice, thanks all

I cant wait till he stains it to really see what the wood work looks like, Im trying to talk him into Faux painting that wall since its now a focal point of that room. As of yesterday he was thinking of doing it a Cherry finish which would be really nice with it Faux painted. We shall see what he decides on!!!

I will post pics as the progress moves on but itll be awhile for it to get to the next stage as he needs to save mula for the next step and since hes far away its hard for me to get there all the time...


Thanks again all for the feedback
 
It came out beautiful, Mike....THANK U!!! I am 90% sure its gonna be stained in a brazilian cherry finish or similar...Its already sanded down and I'll keep sanding till I can get to Lowes this weekend and get the stain.
Mike, it finally hit me when I woke up this morning...I did not think it was gonna come out this beautiful, I turned on the lights and saw that in wall, all I can say is...U DO SOME AWESOME WORK BRAH! THANKS SO MUCH!

Can you post some pics of the other side of the wall? What does the stand look like?

Don, what are you going to set this tank up as?

Looks awesome... Mike, you do some great work...

Cheers,
Chris
 
LOL no prob Joey it was my pleasure. Joey take a GOOD final shot of the back and post it on here please, all the shots we got arent good and non of em are completed, so just go in there and snap one shot for me please...

Thanks Chris, the stand is NOTHING special at all actually its VERY basic so he can store things underneath it and whatnot. I did very min bracing on it but it is SUPER STRONG, I used 4 3 1/2 "Red head concrete anchors which go in the concrete about 2" and pull the wood VERY tightly to it. Had to reinforce the wall because there are metal studs instaed of wood, so I replaced them with wood and made it much stronger..
 
I told him about that, but were just going to wait and see what happens with the heat, if he has a prob he will do a chiller, but theres more things Im going to do to the garage to make it cooler before he takes that route
 
Hexed, Im hoping I wont have to run a chiller...like Mike said he has some ideas that might work before I take the chiller route.
 
Yeah bro good job on covering up the wall underneath the stand, but ya took away from the bracing behind it!!! LOL Its cool though there are just some 2x4 behind there if anyone is noticing..

Next time I come out there I wanna throw a couple more braces towards the top, just keep those 2x4 scraps and that one full piece and Ill bring my compresser and gun with me and put a couple more on, itll be at the top so ya still will have plenty of room to put crap underneath the stand

Yes theres a ALOT of things you can do to try and not have to run one, so far ive been lucky enough to never have to run one, I had 1200 watts of Mhs about 10" from my water on a tank and atinics totaling 1420 watts of lights and pumps and all that and NEVER needed even a fan on top of the tank, theres just many things ya can do to elimenate a chiller or at least try!! :D
