Default 180g inwall build journal

Well, now that I've finally finished the paint & trim, here's the progress from the beginning. The tank is built into the middle of a large room, to divide the space between the master bedroom and home office. Note: don't build the stand until you have the tank. I was going to build a custom tank, and built the stand first. Custom tank in the dimensions I wanted would have run almost 2grand more than I spent.
