Inwall "Viewing Side" Finishing Ideas
In progress of building my 90 gallon in wall setup, frame is almost fully assembled. Looking for ideas for finishing the "Viewing Side", currently is drywall.
Thought about cutting the Hole out and trimming, i've seen others build sort of a casement style with a bit of a ledge. |

I did 1by4 pine trim and put a decorative small trim on the inside and outside edge of the pine boards just to dress it up

Cool, that's the kind of thing I was envisioning. I have somewhat limited space around the tank as it's on a wall that's a couple inches wider than the tank. But the concept can still be applied with smaller trim.
