In-wall tank recommendations

[bkoppes]

If you have an in-wall tank I would like to know what you would do differently if you had to do it again??

I am starting my planning for an upgrade and will be doing it in-wall. I will have limited access to the sides(10 inches of space as it is going to be built into a closet, and no I am not doing this differently.) I am planning a 4 foot tank. It will either be a 120(4x2x2) or custom 48" x 18-20" tall x 30" deep. If I go the custom route, I will have an external overflow :wink:

What is your tank Size/Dimensions? Should I have front access?? If so what is the best approach to front access? How high off ground should I have the stand? Do you have Pictures/build thread?

All info is appreciated!!

Ventilation is really important, where the display tank is. Vent to the outside too not just to another room. Loved my in wall tank!

Good point. It is right on an outside wall with easy access to make a vent there.
