I'm setting up my first reef tank (88 gallon XL 425) and due to space limitations I will need to put some support equipment like my ATO reservoir and dosing pumps in a cabinet in my bedroom which is on the opposite side of the wall from my reef and then pass the RO tubing through the wall.
A friend is selling a 55 gallon tank with stand and I'm thinking about purchasing it for my support stuff. I'd put a 10 gallon ATO in the stand and use the 55 gallon tank on the stand for NSW storage.
Despite the oddities of having a big empty aquarium in my bedroom are there other issues I should consider for using a standard 55 gallon tank for my NSW storage?
I think I can manage the evaporation and potential algae growth with a cover and maybe painting the outside of the tank glass.
Would I be able to successfully mix up NSW in something this long and narrow?
Thanks!
