Tank behind wall

[JackMcD]

I plan to install a 150+ gallon tank behind a wall in my basement. Anyone have some advise on a nice flush finish look??? (the best way to hide the tank framing with molding).

cut the hole smaller then the tank?

It will then be recessed and not flush.

I've seen some pretty good trim jobs that just make it look like a giant moving painting hanging on the wall. That's the way I'd go.

I think there are some pics of a wall tank in my sig link. I reinforced the header, imbedded it the 3 1/2"s into the wall and then "picture framed" the viewing wall with door surround trim.

Here's a few pics of my 180gal in the wall. I started by building the stand first, and the put the tank on it and built the wall around it. Hope the pics help to give you some ideas.
