It's time to dream. Say you just won the lottery and you're building a new house. Of course you put a giant display tank for your soon to be gorgeous reef. You also built a room behind it to house your sump. However, this isn't that tiny gap between your tank and hot water heater where you were magically able to squeeze a canister filter, this is a whole big dedicated aquarium room. Based on your experience in the hobby, what would you put in it? What have you wanted but simply ran out of room. For simplicity's sake let's not only say money is not an issue (a fantasy we often discuss) but you are also in no way limited by space.
 
I would hire tank carer who cleans the glass, skimmer, sump and changes 30% water every morning....
 
Probably the coolest thing I ever saw in a fish room was a false floor. On the bottom was sealed concrete that sloped to a large floor drain, and above it was a floor made of large grates - like egg crate that supported a lot of weight. You could spill water with no worries. You could even do a water change by siphoning directly into the floor without making a huge mess.
 
I didn't win the lottery, but I came pretty close to building my dream fish room...
