in wall help

[viet-tin]

Ive decided to build my tank into my wall. The thing is i have no experience in construction. I was wondering if anyone can give me step by step instructions or something so i can do this. My brother inlaw knows a little but i dont think its enough to put this tank into the wall.

If you have no carpentry experience, I would definately get some help?? Check online or somethng. If it was me, assuming your ******** wall are 2x4 built. I would pull the sheet rock off the area so I gould see it. You want to make sure your not on a bearing wall, cut off your studs to height, then I would double all of them, then I would probably put a small beam across the top where I am going to build my counter to hold 100gal tank and product up.

Well we know the basics on how to do this we have been doing a lot of reading but actually doing this is kinda making us nervous. If anyone has pix on how they did theirs that would help out a lot.

You might check out the photo forum here. Myself and a few other people posted lots of pictures.
Its not that hard to do if there are no pipes running though the wall your going to cut into. Even then its not that hard

Im pretty sure theres plenty of wires and plumbing in the wall since the bathroom is above it. Hopefully my brother and I can do this right.
