The fish room is a 8' x 8' room. I have a dedicated utility sink in the room and there is a floor drain. A spectra pure mega maxcap RODI system is plumbed into the line supplying the sink. I also had a vent fan tied into the room that is connected to a humdity sensor. The walls are water resistant green board. Guess if there is much splashing I could add plastic wall paneling.
I had the trim carpenters build a two stack 4' x 2' shelf. Original thought was to put a QT on the lower shelf but that has been upgraded to a separate frag system. The top shelf and directly under the rafters is being dedicated to storage and a 60 gallon cube refugium.
There will be a dedicated water storage and mixing station. Made up of two 105 gallon Norwesco containers. The external mixing and drive pump is a Blue line 70HD. We were going to use cement blocks for the base but they took up too much room so instead a custom stand was built for the two water storage tanks.
The sump is a 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. With a brute container on one end that will act as a large
filter floss chamber as well as cut back on the return splashing into the stock tank. The tank is plumbed with two Reef Savvy ghost overflows. So a total of 4 drain lines and 2 emergency drains. The 4 drain lines run into a central drain that runs into the brute container. The emergency drains drain directly into the stock tank and are higher than the water line. That way if there is a problem I should be able to see and hear it, besides just a notification. We ran flex just to the two returns to make to quieter and space was limited.
The return pump powering everything is an external Dolphin Amp Master 6250.
I should say most of the plumbing is schedule 40 with some flex. I'm not a big fan of flex but it has its place in tight spaces.
So that is where the tank is currently at. I'd take some additional pictures but it's a pretty big mess. We are currently working on plumbing the water mixing station to the tank. So that water changes could be automatic or done by valves. Haven't decided which way to go.
