I'm thinking of building a fish closet. Built in wall tank with small room behind it. Something like a 6'x8' room with a cube in the corner visible on two sides. Anybody have something similar that you could share ideas?

I can't help you but in the large reef builds they have excllent examples. You can check out my build thread in my sig for ideas, I went through the wall into the garage. While its open and get a little warm, it does very well.

Here is what I am currently working on. 120 tank, dual 40b sump/fuge, 10gal top off tank. It is in a small closet area about 5*8.

Looks like pic got turned, sorry.

Looks good. Do you have a plan for excess moisture yet? I'm planning a exhaust thru the wall which will be easy on a exterior wall. Yours looks like maybe interior stairs?

It is opened to the kitchen area, going to use a vented door as well. But yes, I am planning a vent through the exterior wall wall as well. I hope/plan to hook it up to the apex...I can utilize it to turn on if temps get to high and hopefully if there is to much moisture build up.

The biggest issue I see and have with this type of room is limited space. I am having to get creative on where and how I place components. I am trying to figure out how to stack my reactor and skimmer...both external.
