Getting back in the hobby with a 240 gallon in-wall project

1 thing I recommend is have a swingable panel above the front of your tank. Working on and placing corals from the back is a pain in the butt

I sold my wife on the idea that the display tank would be flush with the wall, trimmed out, and look seamless. I don't think she'd go for me working on the "showoff" side. Also. it's above a bar so access would be very cumbersome. I'll try to attach a picture of the space where the tank is going.

Hello R2R friends. I'd like to start a build thread. Where should I put it? Member Tanks?

Hi,
I am new to R2R, but not new to reef-keeping. Despite having kept a 38 gallon mixed reef, then 75 gallon mixed reef, and various freshwater tanks and a pond over a period of many years, I still consider myself a beginner and will be here to ask many, many questions!

I am planning a 240 gallon in-wall tank with fishroom, something I've dreamed about for a long time. I am still in the planning stages, having ordered some equipment, have some left over from my last tank, and mostly still shopping around and watching craigslist and For-Sale forums. I will need lots of help and advice though. I hope to share with others what I've learned too. I try to rely on my local marine aquarium club but I want to see what this community has to offer.

Thanks,

Steve
(I live in DC, not Maryland, but R2R does not recognize the District of Columbia as a state -- that's a topic for another discussion).

Welcome to R2R Steve. Lots of knowledgable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed. It’s sounds as though you will have a lot to offer the forum too.
