75 gallon in the wall?

[Clownkeeper]

Hey guys I need some advice here. I am building a new home with a basement and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on putting a 75 reef in the wall. Should I do this or should I put the tank in the main room on the stand? I have a 10x10 room that I can put the tank in that will be used for office space also. Will have computer and some file cabinets. If you guys think it is a good idea does anyone know of any sites that show how to do this? I have a 75 AGA with built in overflows. Any suggestions would be great
Thanks

I'm about to put up a wall in my new house (well it's an older house, but it's new to me) with a 180 gallon Oceanic. Just make sure you plan things out and you will be fine. You can put moulding around the outside of the tank on the wall that is flush to it to give it a finished look.

This won't give you much help, but at least it lists some of the items needed, and a picture of what the flush unit would look like:

Personally, I really think the flush mount is the way to go. I had a friend who had a nice sized tank over his bed- looked awesome. This was in the basement, and the other side of the wall was the utility room, so it was easy to maintain.
