Talking 380 gallon in wall-opening statement

I am in the very very early stages of setting this tank up. it will start this wednesday when I reinforce the floor.
The plan for this tank is that in the living room it will be an inwall tank that will be flush with the wall. On the otherside of that wall is my frag room/den and what I am hoping to accomplish is that this side of the wall the tank will also be visible. I got the tank with a beautiful oak stand and canopy. I am hoping with some simple modification (talked to a carpernter and said it would be no problem) that the tank will be visible as a free standing tank in this room. so in essence this will be almost like 2 tanks in one. I will be posting pics as this adventure continues. Any thoughts comments???

Wednesday will be the start day. PROJECT 1 will be to reinforce the floor underneath the tank. thinking of using concrete pylons (like the ones you use for decks) and 2x6's. this should be fairly easy since the floor is very easy to get at. PROJECT 2 clearing out the closet and start demoliton.
should be able to get the floor reinforced and most of the demoliton done that day.
will be taking pics along the way
