That is an awesome plan to have the tank sit outside like that and then build walls around it to make a fishroom. How cold does it get in winter for you guys?

I want to clean up the cube tank and put some of the corals and rock that are in the 175 into the cube tank... making more room for new corals and maybe a bit more swimming room for the fish

I might just stop in monday to have a look....your going to have to start charging an admission fee to your basement

Good idea 2 drink minimum

This is the easy way for me to make it work, no taking up room in the house and eliminating the humidity issue that comes with this kind of water volume, we don't get really cold winters, the room will be well insulated and properly ventilated.

Lets just say if the temp drops below -5C everyone's whining and complaining about how cold it is and the stores suddenly sell out of long johns

WOW can't wait to see it up and running. Also glad I don't have to do the water changes for it!

Water changes shouldn't be a problem, I will just use the water from the reef when I do that one.

Apparently you have a very understanding wife to let you get away with a tank that size. This going to be a good thread to fellow along. Good luck!

Good idea. That's how I recycle my reef water change through my fowlr/softie tank.
