You may have already said it but are you going to paint or stain?

That's where the wife come in with the finishing decoration, that's her part of the project. So as per the wife, I am going to prime the wood, and then paint the whole room one color to really enhance the in wall look. In hopes that the tank looks as if we built it in the wall and not a wall around it. At least that's what we are trying to accomplish anyway...

Looking really good so far, and when you get the final coat of paint on it's going to set it off nicely!! Love the in wall look.

Looks fantastic buddy,making me think twice about doing the false in wall look when I do my big tank,i was going to leave it open at the top but yours looks so good I may have to try it when the time comes.

Yes, the false wall was a secondary idea becasue I have always wanted to to do an in wall tank build. So since I didn't have a house large enough or should I say a suitable wall area to do it, this was the next viable way to go. The poor man's in wall aquarium build, but hey once the wall is up no one will know the wiser. I won't tell, if you don't....
