building a large in-wall aquarium?

Question

I am building a new house and would like to build an aquarium through the wall of the living room/den area. I would like it to be about 180gal that goes through the wall so one can see to the other side. any tips about building aquariums and supporting the wall and tank?

I was planning on building a cabnet next to it to house the filters, pumps, and various eysores for more info.

Here are complete instrucitions. I also considered this possibilty but am concerned about the tank heating up too much from a lack of circulation between it and the halide lights

Answer 2

Find someone who had done it several times before and talk to the people that have them. They can tell you the good and bad part of that person doing it. Don't forget a place in the wall for all the extra stuff, pump, food and extra filters. Good luck.
