Wife and I have talked and I have gotten the green light to make my fish den a reality. Current talks are about a multi tank system tied together and plumbed to one sump. I included a couple screen shots of my current thoughts on the layout of the tanks. There is really only one constant for this whole build and that is the current tank built into the wall.
Starting with the top left tank, it is a 120 built into the wall. The second tank next to it, will be added into the wall and will be a 40 breeder style tank. The third tank 90 degrees from this is a 240 acrylic tank. In the second two pics there is a wall added behind this tank, it currently isn't there, not sure if it will be but it will hide a lot of the mechanicals if added. It could also be moved back farther instead. The tank behind the wall would be the sump combining all the systems. I have thought of removing the 40 from the system, either totally or have it running on its own.
The 120 is going to be the main reef tank. The 240 is going to be a predator style tank, thinking more along the lines of rays and or sharks. The 40 will be a small little spectacle of a species only type tank. Maybe a angler or something of that nature.
I have struggled with plumbing this system together. Somehow, someway I can't see plumbing not running on the floor, but I would like to avoid it if I can but not sure how yet. There is a floor drain about 8 feet away from the side of the sump I plan to tie into for water changes.
More pics or plans to follow, thanks for looking!
