designing a wall for a 10ft in -wall tank....looking for design ideas

[Slick Fork]

Is the tank going to be flush with the wall or sticking out a bit? If it's flush I'd just go with the window idea where the whole wall is uniform but the opening for the tank is trimmed with a wood or tile accent that matches the room.

If it sticks out a little go with tile or stone. Wood paneling is nice but reflective in a home theatre room
