I am starting the planning on an in wall now. I have a couple of questions that I figured would be better to ask the experts here. The only facts that I have are where I am putting it and the dimensions of the tank (60 x 30 x 24)
As far as the hole in the wall, do you build and finish the wall with a slight gap planned between the aquarium and the wall, if I want a flush look? If so, what would be good? If there is still a gap after installation, how do or what do you fill in the gap with?
When setting up the wall, is it better to have a portion of the aquarium sitting on the cut out, or create the cutout in the wall to allow for the stand to come through to the finished drywall?
If my room on the other side of the wall, where the equipment will be housed is just a deep, under-stair closet, is ventilation imperative or is there some other way to deal with the humidity? Will I also need to replace all the drywall in the room with the green stuff (the stuff that doesn't absorb moister)?
