So time to update. I ended up taking the tank down due to life stuff happening. I decided to keep it down while I did a full remodel of the basement and built the tank into the wall with fish room behind. Fish room is also general storage room and washer/dryer room, haha. I just recently started putting fish in my tank. This will be mostly a FOWLR but will be adding some cheap softies, LPS, SPS so if they get eaten it's ok. I have a Waterbox 170.4/5 as my reef tank. The equipment is basically the same as before since I kept it all. Here are a couple picks to get it going.

Your new setup is beautiful. That’s a show piece for sure and the build in job looks well executed. I miss my finished basement a lot.

Thank you! I'm super pumped on how it came out. The only thing I wish I might have done different is put the aquarium into the wall more so it's not so "behind" the wall. Benefit of this way though is I have insulation in the walls so you can't hear any equipment at all. My wife is getting slightly annoyed I spend most of time down there though......

Thank you so much! Now my wife is telling her friends that everytime she turns around I another tank pops up, haha! I have this one, the waterbox, 80 gallon frag and two QT tanks.

Couple pics of all the fish. I know you can see through it, still working on the solution I want for that.

Looks great! For the back of the tank how about a plain old school pull down window shade? You could open or close it depending on your mood. It would also reflect light back in the tank. When I finish my door for the front of mine I’m going to put in a shade so the kids can be in the man cave with the lights on and the fish can sleep..

That's what I ended up doing, thank you for the suggestion! I mounted it a few weeks ago and works like a charm. I used this from Home Depot.

Achilles tang goes crazy on his reflection. Kind of annoying to watch but I don't know how to stop it.
