So far my drywall is doing just fine and that is with the tank all the way against the front piece of drywall (the stand is part of the wall so the tank sits flush against the drywall). I painted all of it with a oil base killz paint and then finished it with a high gloss.

Also I am sure you are aware but make sure that the top of the wall, weather its drywall or trim, covers the top of the water line so you dont have the glare of the lights shining through.
