Utility sink?

[TylerS]

For those who have a utility sink in your fish room, how big is it, and is it big enough?

Seems like 24"x24" is a pretty common good sized sink, but I'm always interested to hear what others have done.

I'm planning on one I can get a 5g pail into, sideways. 24" won't cut it I think.

Just get a faucet you can attach a hose to. Then you can easily clean any bucket. I had an extra foot piece of laundry hose use when I want to clean out something bigger

Definitely make sure the faucet will allow you to screw on a hose fitting. As long as the sink is big enough to fit you're largest equipment you want to clean you're good. I have a 24x24 and it works perfect for my situation. My Python water change hose get connected and I still have enough room to clean the skimmer cup and everything else while doing my water change.

I have the standard deep 24x24 sink that is found in laundry rooms. I have no complaints about the size, but I wish my fixtures were plastic. They rust easily around salt water.

+1 on screw on nozzle. I rarely use it, but it's important when you need it.
