Wife and I have been planning to move in the next year or so and I have already had ideas of building a fish room to house the sump for my current tank. Been thinking about large tubs for extra live rock, large fuge tub/tank and definitely a frag tank or two. But also what about another non-reef tank? Maybe a smallish predator tank? Tidal Garden's setup is what got me to thinking about the multi-tanks into one sump. I guess if you keep corals then maybe multiple 40g breeders into one sump would be better than 1 large 130g.
If I upgrade my current 130 gal to a larger tank, I could move the 130g into the fish room with it's current lights and hook it and the new tank all together into a large sump. This would make water changes and maintenance easier. I do realize the risk is if there is a problem in one tank you could lose them both.
Anyone else do this? Or is this generally a bad idea?
