I thought about that, but I'm having to put it right behind the washer/dryer and I just figured the project would become too difficult if I was having to make some sort of removable cabinet around the tank.
I've placed the in-wall aquarium project on hold as I've begun creating my "fish room" in another room with hopes of raising Electric Blue Jack Dempseys. I'll probably leave the in-wall aquarium for when we build our new house (few years down the road).
