Ya kinda. The tank is 6.5 feet long and the opening is 8 feet so it isn't worth building a wall for 9 inches on either side. I may build 9 inch shelves I can slide in and out

But what about above and below the tank? I think a tank looks great when it is built into a wall with some nice trim around it. Then a couch looks great underneath it it, and makes for easy sitting an viewing.
