I have a question

to all the people who have built inwall tanks, I am thinking of constructing a new stand but I want to go with drywall for the ourside of it. It will be like a room partition from floor to roof. how many of you have a lot of drywall around the tank and how is it holding up? did you seal it with a special type of paint on the inside or what... ect...

I didn't do anything special.... maybe I should have?

If you use an aquaboard, you wont have to worry about mold, or the drywall rotting away. Its the same stuff they use around tub enclosures and showers.

nope but I might have to plug a few

I am thinking of turning that little entry shelf by the front door into a tank stand.. all it does now is colect junk and I would get my living room back if I move the tank there.

We have a lot of drywall. Kari built in our tank for us. No where near the damage on the drywall in the free-standing 230g. The only area I need to look at is the sump a bit more. The tank has no splatter, being Euro braced.
