Ultimate Fish Room designs/locations

[bigmac]

Update:
So I've just signed off on the house plans which gives me a large fish room in the basement complete with a window for ventilation, moving one of the teleposts so that an 8 foot tank can fit (yeehaw), utility sink with hot and cold water and a dedicated floor drain. I'll run all the GFCI wiring myself. So it appears that I've got a good headstart on my ultimate fish room.

It sure helps to have been in this hobby for almost 4 years (learning what I could have done differently, etc.); however it's been great to draw on everyone elses' experience on this site. Kudos to Canreef!

use hardy board instead of aqua board-better for moisture-you could also tile onto the hardy board with just a taping joint
