What Are You Going To Spend On A Tank That Big?

You mean what kind of budget? I'm thinking, depending on the house, ~5K in renos to prepare the space. As for the tank, I'm unsure as I haven't decided if I want a glass, fiberglass, or acrylic tank. I expect my build to take 1-3 years, depending on my schedule, budget, and what type of home I purchase.

All in a I'm tentatively expecting to spend $15,000-$20,000 on renos and setting up the system. I haven't even looked at budgeting for livestock.

Is that what you were looking for?

As I previously mentioned I am still researching which tank type I'm going to be going with. As the property hasn't yet been found, I can't really make a decision as to which shape of tank will be best. The shape will probably dictate which material I finally end up using.

Consider staying away from a place that has a water meter.

I second the floor drain..very handy.

That is definitely on my list now! Thanks for reminding me.

Do most people only go for a single floor drain? I was hoping for a floor drain, a utility sink, and then separate plumbing for an RO/DI system.
