Designing front panel of in-wall tank
I have a 265 gal in-wall tank, with a recessed front panel. I decided on this design after seeing the tanks at Mystic Aquarium in CT. There have been 2 problems. I use a cleaning magnet on the front panel, and I can't access the edges of the tank. Also, water has found its way on occasion over the front of the tank, damaging the lower portion of the recess, which is sheetrock. Now I am planning an upgrade to a 400 gal in-wall. I don't want to access the tank from the viewing side. Any suggestions for how best to set the tank into the wall? If I were to make the front panel flush with the wall, that would take care of the magnet cleaning problem, I think, but I do like the look of a recessed tank. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Some realy niced clean, white, recessed board, or some classy wood. Not llike wood panling, but some square minamalistic wood. Very uniform.
I think it wood look great! Why should the cleaning magnet be a problem? I dont really understand that particular concern? -alien

Thanks for the reply, Alien. The hand-held side of the cleaner magnet hits the recessed wall at the sides, leaving an inch or so of algae around the perimeter of the viewing side of the tank. I tried a magnet cleaner from Oceans Motions that is supposed to avoid this problem, but the results were mixed. I was hoping that someone with a large in-wall might have thought up an imaginative solution to this problem...Joe
