In wall tank on corner, can it be done?

[jrlandsman]

Does anyone have any pictures of their in wall system, specifically a tank that is on in the corner of a room so that you can see 2 sides of the tank from the display side? I want to put a 90 gallon in the wall of my house in the basement and was wondering how anyone who has done this supported the wall because the tank will be in the corner. Any pics of how people framed the wall around their tanks would help and espically in wall tanks that are viewable from two sides. Thanks!

I have a picture of my tank, but for some reason I am having a hard time uploading it.

If your home is on a concrete or block foundation you dont have to worry about supporting anything above.You can just do basic framing without worrying about support.

Very nice Nemesis...

I like the soft look of the rounded edges. Is that sheetrock, plaster, what?

 

[nemesis]

It's just the rounded corners they do today with sheet rock.
My 6-year-old son decided to play with my magna-float and scratched up my tank pretty good.

I was wondering that too. Obviously there's a room back there, but why the separate tank? Just because you could...

I originally set it up for a quarantine tank, but it now has all the critters that are not reef safe.

as long as your not trying to put it into a load bearing wall your fine with the sheetrock holding itself up. just remembered the basement part, so as long as your not knocking out conctrete blocks or cutting a solid wall(would be one hell of a bi@#% to do) your fine.

Yeah that looks great. I am going to be putting up a 6 foot by 8 foot room as a fish room so no Im not taking out block or anything. Ill post pics when the project starts. Thanks for the pics the more pics the better I need ideas.
