150 gallon build with bookcase surround?

[Joseph Mooney]

Finally starting to make headway on my 150 gallon acrylic tank build. I have the stand complete, but I'm looking for ideas on kind of a bookcase wraparound.. Any master carpenters have any ideas/advice?

I would do a recessed book case with a sloped hood over the tank maybe incorporate a control center in the case as well.

Obviously an incredibly rough phone doodle but something to think about, can give you a better one if you would like. Your space does make things a little difficult for a built in but would still look awesome

Oh I like that!

I've always liked the thought of an integrated tank, so I repurposed an entertainment center for my build. And JoshH basically nailed it!

Not near the size of a 150, but the recessed side bookshelves frame the tank nicely.

Very much the look I'm going for
