I have always wanted to do an in wall.
Want to use the family room wall that backs against the garage.
I want to put in a long tank as the wall is 22' long and dress it up as a picture frame.
I will have the tank actually sit in the garage where I will do all the service from.
The only thing that has stopped me is the wife.
I hate when she makes sense.
She always does but boy I don't like to accept it.
The biggest concern with a project like this is how long do you plan to live in your home?
Is this something you will have to leave behind if you leave?
Will the buyer care for a tank like that?
In Florida, four customers had built ins. They all sold their homes and I found new customers as they knew nothing of fish tanks and were happy with the way it looked. One home was sold over four times, each time a new customer for me.
However, that may not be the case all over the country.
Aside from these questions, she asked me who was going to pay for the electric bill to chill that tank that would sit in the garage, in South Florida? She also wanted to know when is it I was going to get her the drapes she wants, buy a new living room set, do crown moldings, do new larger baseboard moldings, remodel the remaining two out of the three bathrooms that we have yet to remodel, and on and on and on.
So......my built in tank is still just a dream, for someday.
