I am looking to build a fish room in my basement. The room will have a sump and a refugium for my DT upstairs. It will also house my water making station, QT's and everything else. How did you all that have a fish room decide where to put it? What were the determining factors you used? Help please as this will be my first fish room but not the first tank. I moved into a new house last month and have yet to set my tank up as I want to start out with a nice fresh system and setup.

Convenient. Don't build the fish room where it isn't convenient. Running water lines is easy, drains for the ro/di as well. Electrical can be easy if the ceiling is open. Any major drains should be close to floor drains. As it will hold your sump, maybe have it be able to drain straight into a drain for water changes.
Above all convenience or you will not like how it turns out.

I set my room up for ease of Mait. The easier it is to do it , the better chance is that you will. Start with water in, water out. Also run separate circuits for the fishroom I ran 3 , 20amp. Also be sure to install exhaust fans for the moist air out and fresh air in.
