Okay so I bought this tank at a good deal for a shop tank.
The top frame needed to be replaced and I've always wanted a tank in a wall so I figured why not?
Here is a picture of the tank I bought and I will post pictures from the build.

Working on the frame

I had an old cabinet hanging on the wall where I wanted to put the tank so I took it down and decided to use it under the tank.

I decided to paint the inside frame black before I set the tank in place.
Probably a wise decision

First time for me on a inwall tank but I think I got a lot done in a weekend.
Tank is in place and full and ready to start cycling

Painting inside of room black thought it would look good thru the tank and give it some depth.

Got the walls insulated and closed up on the outside:sponge:

Keep in mind that this is in my shop so i went with the cheapest materials that i could if it were in my house i would have done a nicer job but overall i think its coming along nicely:rocker:
The sand is in 180# so far, the sump is all hooked up and running i will have to get some pics of that. New 6' Green Element LED light ordered should be here
this week 96 leds 3 watts each.
Still have to finish painting and get an exhaust fan installed in the room behind the tank but i ran out of weekend they are always tooooo short.
