I have been wanting to build a tank into the wall of my living room, for the longest time.
I have to say, if not for meeting Sean in Spring Lake, NJ, who was getting rid of his 110 gallon tank, this would still be just a pipe dream!
First off, I had to cut the Sheetrock to make sure this was not a load bearing wall, because it is the inside wall of my garage.
After I cut the studs down, I built a header and some support studs, as well as the stand, that could support the weight of 110 gallons of water with 100 lbs of rock and sand.
Please let me know, what you think!
I am also open to any advice, as well as what you might’ve done differently
Thanks a lot, Pete
