LOL Gator....is your tank so big that you are knocking down walls to make room?? :D

Is it fresh water right now for leak tests? If so just make sure you clean all the pieces before adding your saltwater.

yes just leek testing, but i am making it an inwall tank so i am using sheetrock to close it in and i want to make sure if something does fall in it wont crash everything

I put up a wall near one of my tanks once and got a bunch of dust in there. No problems.

Sheetrock is made from gypsum, chemically known as calcium sulfate. Its pretty much chemically inert and shouldn't cause any problems except for the presence of the dust in the water. A sock filter, or even your skimmer will probably take it out.
