Hello,
I am in the process of starting a new 150G reef tank and along with this I am going to convert my office bathroom to a fish room. I have just started the process and was hoping to get any ideas or suggestions from those who have done this before.
My bathroom is 66" x 97". My plan is to totally demo the space including removing the shower and shower wall and then put everything back in the most logical place. I do plan to keep the toilet in the bathroom so that will take up some space, but I will also move it to the most out of the way spot. I was thinking about two roughly 40G water containers so I could do a 20% water change. Then I would directly plumb my RODI unit to a water line (not sink as it is today.) I would have a utility sink and a floor drain. Not sure what else I should consider.
The room is 8' from where the aquarium will be so I should be able to run a hose out for water changes. The house sits on a crawl space so I probably could run some sort of plumbing through the crawl space as well if that would be helpful.
Here is a picture of where the aquarium will be with the bathroom door in the background. And then also a picture of the bathroom.
Thanks for your suggestions!
