    We recently purchased our first home in Nov. Being a huge fish enthusiast I decided to convert one of our down stairs closets into an in wall aquarium.
    This was the enduring process I went through.

    After framing up the wall and installing the stand I cut the window out where the tank would sit and then began the fun process of setting up the tank.

    The original plan was to leave the closet setup as a maintenance room for the aquarium but wheres the fun in that?
    We decided it would be cool to have it built in on both sides that way you could see through the wall. So we decided to convert the closet into a cubby
    complete with multiple hidden doors for easy maintenance and a bench which opens up for access to my 20 gallon sump.
