You won't be able to see any of that anyway Q, the whole face is going to be covered in drywall with windows for the tanks only.
There are officially fish in my wall!
Well, got the first tank transferred over. The 55 is now up and running on the top shelf. IT was a royal pain, took me about 4 hours to get it done. Mostly because it had a ton of plants in it, and I was tired of everything constantly being overrun with guppy grass and duckweed, and some random hair algae clumps. So, I systematically pulled every plant out and carefully removed all the duckweed, pieces of guppy grass and algae that I could. I think I successfully got rid of all the duckweed and I'm hoping all the guppy grass as well. The hair algae might come back, there was some on the diftwood and I didn't feel like boiling or bleaching it cause I wanted to get done.
I also took out a large number of plants, since that tank was holding the plants for both that and the 150 asian tank, which hasn't been set up yet. The asian plants are in a bucket right now, I might have to get a 10gal or something just as a holding area until the other tank gets set up.
Just for reference, this is what the 55 looked like before the move...and this pic was taken before the guppy grass was added, so it got way more overgrown than this
Full tank shot now:
Full wall shot so far

It feels good to have at least one tank running. Its still run on the canister its been using, eventually when I get the sump set up this will be one of the three tanks that are run on that system. The brackish tank is next in line to be transferred from the 40B into the 75.

Haha thanks Ms J...that came from a place in RI called the Mews Tavern (www.mewstavern.com). They have a blue one that says GOT BEER as well, and they hang on your table so you can flip them back and forth when you need the waitress. They also have 69 beers on tap and 212 different single-malts. Man I miss that place.
Wow! That is awesome. Can't wait to see it completed. I'm working on a fish wall of my own. Nothing compared to yours though. Progress is very slow mainly do to my procrastination but one day I'll get it done. 
In the mean time I'll just look at your "Great Wall of Fish" as inspiration.
