Finishing the basement off and decided I needed a new hobby. In wall 180 gal 72"x24"x24" is what I landed on. I have never had saltwater tanks but been researching for several months. Haven't landed on the which company to order my tank from or the equipment below.

I am roughing in 10 outlets near the base of the stand and 4 outlets up high for the lights. I am pulling two dedicated 20 amp circuits to this area. The stand is framed into the wall and display will be flush to the entertainment room. Pictures below were taken today and I have about 1 more day on addition framing detail and finish the stand supports / top and bottom infill wood base.

Look forward to any thoughts on tank and equipment selection.

Wow that's going to be a nice in-wall. Is that drywall just the standard drywall? As it looks like it just being grey. I'd recommend going with moisture resistant drywall(usually green or purple). Planning any humidity control being its wide open and easy to install things right now?

Drywall you see in the pics is existing and I plan to removed and install glass rock or similar moisture gypsum. I haven't researched much on the humidity control methods. What do you recommend?
