Three sides are bearing walls that go down to the concrete floor downstairs. 16" O/C 2x4 studs. The front, which you see in the pic is framed with 2x6 and the opening has a 6x6 header sitting on triple 2x6.
I do not think it will sag, but I will probably put a post in the center, as I want to put doors on it anyways.
It was actually only a 2x4 full height wall, till the GF thought a saltwater tank would be nice...
I cut out the wall, widened it to 27" wide etc etc. Ended up hacking it up a bit to install all the gear downstairs, as I had no idea the gear etc needed for this hobby.
