Hello!
I am currently working on finishing up my unfinished basement. I have a room that is 23 ft x 11 ft. On one end of the room I plan on walling it off to install an in wall fish tank that is 96x30x30 inches. I can access behind the tank from another room. I plan on not putting any flooring in the area where the fish tank will be, so it will just be sitting on concrete. I also plan on using cement board in that area instead of standard drywall. The saltwater mixing station and quarantine tanks will be in a different area, so I don’t need room behind the tank for these.
So a few quick questions
1 – How much area would you give yourself behind the tank? I don’t want to make the viewing room to small. The tank is 30” deep, so I was thinking about making the room 60”? I would still have a few feet on each side of the tank to store things?
2 – How many outlets would you give yourself for a setup like this? I was going to give it its own 20a breaker. Is that overkill? Not enough?
3- Is there anything else I am missing that you think would be a good idea since I am starting this tank/room from scratch?
Thanks for all the help!
