400 GALLON TAKE 2!!!!!

[graphixx]

Allright, I decided I would do a seperate thread since the last one hold terrible memories for me and was getting very very long!!!
This thread will be a very very welcomed breath of fresh air!! Well those of you who didnt follow the last terrible fiasco that happened with this behemoth. Here is the outcome.
This tank is now going to be an in wall tank that will be visible from from both sides. The side in the living will be a flush wall it will be framed so it in essence looks like a picture hanging.
The other side of the tank will be in my den/frag room. this tank will look like a free standing tank. I am going to modify the current stand and canopy so it will be also viewable from this side as well. So its like 2 tanks in one!!!!
This little project will kick off this wednesday. PROJECT 1: reinforce the floor underneath the tank. This should be fairly easy. this part of the floor is very easy to get to. PROJECT 2: clean out the closet on the den side and start the demolition. I hope to get the wall torn down on this side and the hole cut for the tank.
Will be taking pics as the project rolls on. I think this should take only a few weeks to accomplish. I am giving myself a month to get it done so I dont run into any time constraints on this.
WISH ME LUCK....................

That's why I'm waiting before I bust out my 40G project. Let the excitement from all of your new tanks settle so that I can snag some attention. lol

I kinda have my thread started in the Plumbing Ideas thread that I have posted in the Tanks section. Not much interest in that thread so far. I pick up the tank on Wednesday after work. I've also got 45mm and 40mm diamond hole saws coming, so we'll see if I can get my 7 holes drilled without destroying everything. Not much to photograph right now. The stand should be done in the next week or so.
