new set up, help...please.

Really consider Albertan's suggestion for a fish room.

Rather than a dedicated fish room, I just enlarged my furnace room. My display is on the main floor, with the CL plumbing and pump directly below, but everything else is down in the basement.

It's great as a lots of room for the sump, fuge and equipment, then storage, for water, buckets, hoses, etc. Also a have a laundry sink which I find really convenient.

With the house still being built, it's easy to run all your plumbing and returns lines, get your electrical sorted, etc. Can get a sub-panel in if you you want just for the tank, have your ballasts remoted in the basement, etc.

Get on it soon before the drywall is up.
