Hey onetime2, it all depends on the dimensions. I've have a few services where the aquarium is used as a room divider within a wall. I wasn't involved in any of the consultaion/construction phase and I'll tell ya, it was a nightmare when I took it on.
If you're not familliar with the intricacies of aquariums, I suggest taking the time to get in touch with someone in your area that can help you with this project. Always ask for referrals, see a portfolio and make sure that they are insured and the work guaranteed. Also discuss your idea of what you want it to look like and they can better give you an idea of what you need, space requirements, equipment, etc.
One of my clients spent thousands of $$$ for a room divider aquarium. When I took it on, it leaked and the day after my consult, all I did was look at the overall set-up...didn't touch a bloody thing...the tank split and ruined his entertainment system and the walk in humidor in the room below it. You don't want to know the damages.
IMHO, when it comes to water and you have "nice stuff" in your house, it's worth spending the extra $$$ and time to have the work done right.
