My 180 Gallon In Wall Tank Setup
I have officially started my 180 gallon in wall setup. I started ripping up carpet, taken off base board amongst other things. I will post pictures as I take them throughout the build. This tank will be a 180 Gallon Acrylic tank with a center overflow. I will be running a Sequence dart as a return and another sequence dart on a CLS system through an ocean motions 8 way. I will keep this thread updated with my progress.
Thanks

I just got done framing. I still need to afix it to the ceiling but that will wait until another day. As you can see I had to build it in sections. For example, on the right side I only had 6 inches between studs, well you try and get a drill in a 6 in gap. So I had to mount a large piece then put that second stud in after the other was mounted to the wall. Not bad for my first framing job ever. It will be so nice having my new fish room. The only thing that stinks is I have to get the new tank up and running and get everything switched over before I can totally finish the room. I want a sink and other stuff but I can't fit all that with two tanks in there. Oh yeah here is a pic. You guys love pictures.
